History & Origin
Chyrl is a respelled, contracted form of Cheryl, itself a young name coined in the early twentieth century. Cheryl blends French 'cherie,' dear, with the mineral name Beryl; Chyrl keeps the sound while compressing the look to a single syllable.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year near its late-1940s high and gone by about 1970. A Chyrl from that time is in her late seventies now; the spelling reads as an artifact of its decade rather than a revival candidate.
