Cherryl

Cherryl is a feminine name that emerged as a variant spelling of Cheryl, which itself developed as a feminine form of the French name Cherie, meaning 'darling' or 'beloved.' This alternative spelling gained modest popularity in English-speaking countries during the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s. The double 'r' adds a distinctive touch to the traditional spelling. Cherryl evokes associations with the cherry fruit, suggesting sweetness and vibrancy. While less common than Cheryl, this variation offers a slightly more unique option while maintaining familiar pronunciation. The name's popularity has declined since its peak, making it relatively uncommon among younger generations today, though it retains a certain retro charm.

Pronounced CHER-ul.

As of October 2026, Cherryl ranked #13874 in US births in 1993 SSA, peaked at #810 in 1946.
