History & Origin
Chyrel shadows Cheryl during that name's mid-century height. This rearranged spelling appears in United States records only briefly, touching a small high in 1957 before disappearing.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at most, and its short run had ended by the late nineteen-sixties. A girl recorded as Chyrel then would be in her late sixties today, though she was almost certainly called Cheryl. The spelling reads as a clerical artifact more than a chosen form.
