The name Shermy is a boy's name.

Shermy is a diminutive masculine name that may have originated as a nickname for Sherman (meaning 'shearer of cloth' or 'cutter of fabric') or as a variant of Jeremy. The name has a playful, endearing quality with its '-y' ending that gives it a friendly, approachable sound. Shermy gained some cultural recognition from the Peanuts comic strip, where it was a minor character's name. It remains very uncommon as a formal given name, though it might be used as a nickname.
