Cheryle Origin and Meaning
The name Cheryle is a girl's name.
Cheryle is a feminine name that serves as a variant spelling of Cheryl, which itself developed as an Anglicized form of the French name Chérie, meaning 'dear one' or 'beloved.' The name gained significant popularity in English-speaking countries during the 1940s and 1950s, with this particular spelling variation emerging as parents sought ways to make the increasingly common name more distinctive. Cheryle reached its peak usage in the mid-20th century and has since declined in popularity, giving it a somewhat vintage quality today. The name carries warm connotations of affection and tenderness from its French origins, while its sound—with the soft 'ch' and liquid 'l'—creates a gentle, feminine impression.
