Sherill Origin and Meaning

The name Sherill is a girl's name.

Sherill is a feminine name that evolved as a variant of Cheryl, which itself derives from the French name Chérie, meaning 'beloved' or 'dear one.' Another theory suggests it may have originated as a diminutive of names containing 'sher' like Sheridan. Gaining modest popularity in the mid-20th century, particularly the 1940s-60s in the United States, Sherill has since become less common, making it somewhat distinctive for younger generations. The name carries a gentle, refined quality while maintaining connections to more familiar names. Its soft consonants and melodic flow give it an elegant character that balances traditional feminine qualities with a slightly unconventional spelling.
