About Sherrill

Sherrill is a feminine name with English origins, though it occasionally appears as a surname or male name as well. Derived from either a place name referring to a 'bright meadow' or possibly as a diminutive of the name Sherrie (itself a diminutive of Sharon), Sherrill gained modest popularity in the United States during the 1920s through 1950s. It has a gentle, traditional quality while remaining relatively uncommon. Sherrill peaked in popularity during the mid-20th century and has since become less common, giving it a somewhat vintage feel today. The name carries connotations of brightness and clarity, reflected in its linguistic roots relating to light or shining.

Sherrill is also given to boys.

Pronounced SHER-ul.
