History & Origin

Sherrye is an ornamental spelling of Sherry and Sheri. The name is usually linked to the French chérie, 'dear' or 'darling', and to the fortified wine, and it often stood in as a pet form of Charlotte or Cheryl.

The Sherrye spelling stayed rare, cresting around 1955 during the broad mid-century Sherry vogue, then fading. It reads as a grandmother-era name and has not revived.

Did you know? Sherry names caught on partly through the drink and the 1950s hit song 'Sherry', and creative spellings like Sherrye let parents keep the sound while making it their own.
