About Cherith
One of the rarer names to come from the Bible, Cherith has a fresh and modern sound despite its ancient roots. Cherith was the name of the stream that kept Elijah alive during the three years' drought which he announced to King Ahab. In English, Cherith pleasingly reminds one of the word cherish which is another plus to this underused girls' name.
Pronounced CHER-ith.
As of October 2026, Cherith ranked #13958 in US births in 2022 SSA, peaked at #3632 in 1980.
Editor's take: The name Cherith is a girl's name of Hebrew origin meaning "Winter stream".
