Sherrell Origin and Meaning

The name Sherrell is a girl's name.

Sherrell is a feminine name that likely developed as a variant of Cheryl, which itself derives from the French name Cherie, meaning "beloved." Alternatively, it may have evolved as a feminization of the surname Sherrill. The name gained modest usage in the United States primarily during the 1950s-1970s, coinciding with the peak popularity of similar-sounding names like Cheryl and Sheryl. Sherrell has a soft yet slightly unusual sound, making it recognizable but distinctive. While never reaching widespread popularity, the name carries a mid-century vintage charm that may appeal to parents seeking something familiar yet uncommon. The double "r" spelling gives it a subtle distinction from more common variants like Sheryl.
