Meaning and history
Sherrie is a modern English spelling variant of Sherry or Sherri. It may derive from French chérie, meaning “dear” or “beloved,” or function as a familiar form of Sharon, whose origin is a biblical place name. These sources are not identical, and individual family history determines the intended origin. Notable bearers include American conceptual artist Sherrie Levine and English actor Sherrie Hewson. The spelling does not establish a connection with the fortified wine sherry in every case.
Sherrie moved from #921 to #934 for girls between 1986 and 1987. Its highest annual birth count came in 1962, with 1,534 births.
