History & Origin
Charee is a spelling of Sharee or Cheri, fond coinages built on French cherie, 'darling.' The -ee ending gives the sound plainly, a favorite mid-century flourish. Charee appears in United States records from around 1956 and reached a small high around 1975. It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year.
A girl named Charee at that high would be in her forties now, keeping company with the Cheri-and-Sharee names of her era. Its darling-rooted sound stays warm; it never spread widely and has kept only a small, quiet presence, so it reads as an affectionate respelling of its moment.
