Sherleen Origin and Meaning

The name Sherleen is a girl's name.

Sherleen is a feminine name that appears to be a variation of Shirley with the feminine suffix '-een' added for distinction. The base name Shirley originated as an English surname derived from Old English words meaning 'bright clearing' or 'bright meadow.' Sherleen emerged primarily in the mid-20th century when similar constructed names with the '-een' suffix gained modest popularity. While never becoming extremely common, Sherleen creates a more elaborate and distinctly feminine version of its root name. The name carries a vintage quality that connects to the mid-century era when it saw its greatest (though still limited) usage. Its melodic three-syllable pattern gives it a rhythmic, graceful quality.
