History & Origin
Sherrian appears in United States records from about 1941, most likely as a coinage pairing Sherri or Sherry with an -an ending. Its small high came in the mid-1940s, within the broad vogue for Sher- names. It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its peak.
A Sherrian from that peak would be a grandmother now, and the name reads as a genuine period blend rather than an inherited name. It has not revived, though its Sher- opening keeps it in easy company with the many Sherris and Sherrys of its day.
