Cheryllyn Origin and Meaning

The name Cheryllyn is a girl's name.

Cheryllyn is a feminine name that combines the popular name Cheryl with the decorative suffix '-lyn,' creating an elaborated and more distinctive version. Cheryl itself derives from the French name Chérie, meaning 'dear one' or 'beloved,' which became popular in English-speaking countries during the mid-20th century. The addition of the '-lyn' suffix follows a naming pattern common in the latter part of the 20th century, where traditional names were extended or embellished. Cheryllyn remains quite rare, appealing to parents who appreciate the familiar roots of Cheryl but desire something more unique and elaborate. The name carries a vintage charm while the extended form gives it a more formal, elegant quality.
