History & Origin
Sharel is a spelling variant in the Cheryl and Sharell family, names rooted in Cherie and ultimately Charlotte. It surfaced as Cheryl peaked in the 1940s and 1950s, one of the softer respellings of that fashionable sound.
It stayed rare, given to only about fifteen girls a year at its 1953 peak, with records trailing into the 2000s. A girl named Sharel then would be in her seventies today, and the name reads as a period respelling rather than a revival.
