Sharyl Origin and Meaning

The name Sharyl is a girl's name.

Sharyl is a feminine name that represents a variant spelling of Cheryl or Sheryl. Derived from the French name Cherie, which means 'darling' or 'beloved,' Sharyl emerged in English-speaking countries during the mid-20th century when creative spellings became fashionable. The name carries an air of uniqueness while maintaining familiar phonetics. Though never reaching high levels of popularity, Sharyl saw modest usage in the United States between the 1940s and 1970s before gradually declining. Today, it remains an uncommon choice that offers a distinctive alternative to more traditional spellings while preserving the melodic quality and affectionate meaning of its root forms.
