Cheralyn Origin and Meaning

The name Cheralyn is a girl's name.

Cheralyn is a feminine name that appears to be a creative variant of Cheryl, which itself derives from the French name Chérie, meaning "darling" or "beloved." The addition of the suffix "-lyn" gives it a more elaborate, melodic quality. This variation emerged primarily in the mid-20th century when similar-sounding names were popular in the United States. Cheralyn offers a more distinctive alternative to the once-common Cheryl while maintaining its sweet meaning and feminine charm. Though never reaching widespread popularity, Cheralyn appeals to parents seeking a name that's recognizable yet uncommon. The name has a gentle, romantic quality and typically allows for nicknames like Chera, Cher, or Lynn.
