Cherith Origin and Meaning

The name Cherith is a girl's name of Hebrew origin meaning "Winter stream".

One of the rarer names to come from the Bible, Cherith has a fresh and modern sound despite its ancient roots.

In English, Cherith pleasingly reminds one of the word cherish which is another plus to this underused girls' name.
