About Cherie
The kind of French word name that seemed daring and darling in the 50s and 60s when it was at its peak, Cherie had actually made debut in the US charts back in 1927 when it followed alternative and more popular spelling Sherry into the charts.
Inspired by the French chérie meaning "darling", by the sound-alike alcoholic drink, and by similar names already in the US charts (Shirley, Cherry, Charlie, Terry, and Jerry), Cherie eventually peaked in 1967, when it ranked #274 and was given to 958 girls.
Out of fashion again by the 90s, you might look at Soleil as the 2020's alternative to mid-century Cherie: that is, a French word used as an English given name but rarely actually used in France itself.
Just 12 American girls were called Cherie in a recent year, while 23 were called Sherry, 42 were called Cherry, 47 were called Darling, and 275 were called Darla!
Cherie is also given to boys.
Pronounced CHER-ee.
As of October 2026, Cherie ranked #8470 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #274 in 1967.
