History & Origin

Sherell is one of the spellings in the Cheryl and Sherrell family, names traced to a blend of Cherie, 'darling', with Beryl. With the end-stressed -ell sound fashionable through Michelle and Danielle, Sherell offered parents a trim, modern take on the older Cheryl.

It reached its high point around 1987 and stayed uncommon amid its spelling-cousins. A woman named Sherell then is now in her late thirties. It reads as an eighties variant; Shar and Rell serve as short forms, and it is easily confused with Sherelle and Cherelle, so a family may want to settle on one spelling.

Did you know? Sherell is the leaner sister of Sherelle — same sound, one fewer letter — showing how a single spoken name spawned a whole ladder of written forms in the eighties; it peaked around 1987.
