Meaning and history
Cherise is a modern English feminine name influenced by French chérie, meaning “dear” or “beloved,” and possibly by the French word cerise, “cherry.” Because its modern spelling may reflect either association, one exact historical derivation should not be assumed for every bearer. It is distinct from the older Greek-derived name Charis. Notable bearers include Canadian footballer Cherise Sinclair and American singer-songwriter Cherise, a member of the British group Big Brovaz.
