Sherridan Origin and Meaning

The name Sherridan is a boy's name.

Sherridan is a masculine name that appears to be a variation of Sheridan, which originated as an Irish surname derived from 'Ó Sirideáin' meaning 'descendant of Sirideán.' The name Sirideán possibly meant 'searcher' or 'seeker.' Sherridan has the distinctive double-r spelling that sets it apart from the more common Sheridan. The name carries a sophisticated, slightly aristocratic feel and brings to mind playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan. As a first name, Sherridan remains uncommon, appealing to parents seeking something distinctive with Celtic heritage. The name offers friendly nicknames like Sherry or Dan while maintaining its formal elegance. While more frequently used for boys, Sherridan occasionally appears as a girl's name as well.
