History & Origin

Sheritha is a modern American coinage that most likely takes Sheree or Sheri, the breezy short forms behind Sharon and Cheryl, and extends them with a soft -itha finish. The result is a made name assembled for melody, never widely used and not traceable to a single older root.

It was never common, given to only about fifteen girls a year even at its brief peak in the late nineteen-sixties, and it lingered only into the nineteen-eighties. A woman named Sheritha then is in her late fifties today.

Did you know? The -itha ending also shapes names like Bertha and Martha, so Sheritha sounds at once modern in its Sheri- opening and old-fashioned in its close.
