Sherita Origin and Meaning

The name Sherita is a girl's name.

Sherita is a feminine name that gained modest popularity in the United States during the 1960s and 1970s. It likely developed as a variation of Sheila or Rita, or possibly as a combination of the two. The name has a melodic quality with its soft 'sh' beginning and rhythmic three-syllable structure. Sherita peaked at #468 on the U.S. baby name charts in 1970 but has since declined in usage, making it now relatively uncommon for newborns but recognizable on women of Generation X. The name carries a certain retro charm and distinctiveness today, potentially appealing to parents seeking names that are familiar yet not currently popular.
