History & Origin
Sherre is a variant spelling of Sherry and Sheree, names taken from the French endearment chérie, 'darling' or 'beloved.' The word rose as a first name in mid-century America, when French-flavored terms of affection made fashionable girls' names, and it fanned into many spellings. The Sherre form crested in the mid-1950s.
Sherre stayed among the rarer spellings, chosen by a modest number of families before fading by the 1990s. A Sherre from her peak is now in her late sixties. The name reads as mid-century and has not revived, though its sisters Sherry and Sheree remain the recognized forms.
