History & Origin

Cherell is a coined name in the Cherelle mold, built from the Cher- of Cheryl and the chic -elle ending. Cheryl arose in the twentieth century, probably from Cherie, 'dear one', reinforced by Beryl; the -elle forms extended that family with a sleeker sound.

It stayed a genuine rarity, tracking at a few dozen girls a year and peaking faintly around 1989 before fading by 2000. Cherell reads as an inventive period coinage within the Cheryl family, and it has not returned in any real numbers.

Did you know? Cherell shares the French cher, 'dear', at its root, so like Cheryl and Cherie it carries an affectionate 'darling' undertone woven into its stylish -elle finish.
