History & Origin
Shiree is one of several English spellings of Sheree, taken from the French cherie, 'darling' or 'dear one'. American parents in the 1960s and 70s liked the warmth of the sound and spelled it freely - Sheree, Sherree, Cheri, Shiree - as a first name.
Shiree was always a rare form, borne by only a few dozen girls a year at a faint peak around 1979 and fading by the 2000s. Its sisters Sheree and Cherie carried most of the trend.
