History & Origin
Sherria is a lengthened form of Sherry, the American name built from the French endearment cherie, 'darling'. Adding -ia gave parents a softer, more ornate variant; it appears in the 1940s and touched a quiet high around 1980.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its height, so a Sherria from that time would be in her forties today. It reads as a warm period elaboration rather than a comeback name, with Sherry and Sheree as its everyday kin.
