History & Origin

Cheree is a variant of Cherie, straight from the French cherie, 'darling'. Terms of endearment became fashionable girls' names in mid-century America, and the Cherie–Sherry–Sheree family flourished; Cheree spells the sound with a final -ee for clear end-stress.

It reached its high point around 1975 and stayed uncommon amid its many spelling-cousins. A woman named Cheree then is now in her late forties. The name reads as a warm mid-century French borrowing; Cher and Ree work as short forms, and it pairs easily with other soft -ee names.

Did you know? Cheree takes the French endearment cherie — the word a sweetheart is called — and makes it a name, one of a cluster including Sherry, Sheree and Cheri that charmed mid-century parents; it peaked around 1975.
