About Sherril
Sherril is a feminine name that evolved as a variant of Cheryl or Sheryl, which themselves derive from the French name Chérie, meaning 'beloved' or 'dear one.' The name gained modest popularity in English-speaking countries during the mid-20th century but has since become less common, giving it a distinctive vintage charm today. Sherril features a gentle, flowing sound with its soft 'sh' beginning and melodic rhythm. The less conventional spelling with an 'i' ending adds a touch of uniqueness to the traditional form. Often associated with warmth and friendliness, Sherril strikes a balance between familiarity and distinctiveness. While not widely used for newborns today, it maintains appeal for parents drawn to mid-century names with a personal connection or nostalgic quality.
Sherril is also given to boys.
Pronounced SHER-ul.
As of October 2026, Sherril ranked #10702 in US births in 1986 SSA, peaked at #1059 in 1947.
