Sherilyn Origin and Meaning

The name Sherilyn is a girl's name.

Sherilyn is a feminine name that emerged in the mid-20th century as a variation of Sheryl or Cheryl. These names ultimately derive from the French name Chérie, meaning "beloved" or "darling," combined with the popular suffix -lyn that became fashionable for girls' names in America. Sherilyn peaked in popularity in the United States during the 1960s and 1970s, riding the wave of similar-sounding names like Carolyn, Marilyn, and Evelyn. The name gained some recognition through actress Sherilyn Fenn, known for her role in the television series Twin Peaks. While less common today, Sherilyn carries a distinctly vintage mid-century charm with its melodic three-syllable flow and soft sound profile.
