Charesse
Charesse Origin and Meaning
Charesse is a feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Charisse or Cherise, names with French origins derived from words meaning 'dear' or 'cherished' (from 'cher/chérie'). The spelling variation with '-esse' ending gives the name a distinctive appearance while maintaining the elegant sound associated with French-influenced names. This name emerged in usage primarily in the latter half of the 20th century in the United States. The variation in spelling follows a pattern seen in many contemporary names where traditional forms are personalized through spelling modifications. Charesse carries connotations of affection and value through its etymological connections. The name is typically pronounced 'shuh-RESS' or 'shuh-REESE,' though regional variations exist. While not among the most common names, it maintains a distinctive presence in naming patterns.
