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.
