History & Origin

Shericka is a coined American girls' name that blends a She- opening with the -ericka of Erica. Through Erica it faintly touches the Old Norse for 'ever-ruler'; otherwise its appeal is its rolling three-beat sound, in the inventive style of its era.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year from the early nineteen-seventies into the nineties. A girl named Shericka at its high point would be in her forties now.

Did you know? The -ericka in Shericka echoes Erica, from the Old Norse for 'ever-ruler' or 'eternal ruler.'
