Meaning & origin
Cheridan is a modern invented name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1990. It has never ranked among the top 1000 names, remaining rare throughout its history. Its peak year for usage was 2000, but even then it did not reach significant popularity. The trajectory of its use since the 1990s has been stable, meaning it has maintained a very low but consistent level of use. Given its recent coinage, there is no established etymology; it may be a blend of Cheryl and Dan, or a creative variant of Cherie with the suffix -dan. Cheridan is almost exclusively used for girls and has no recorded usage in any U.S. state for a given year to appear in top state lists. It belongs to the 2000s decade and shows no signs of revival.
Cheridan appears to be a modern coinage, first recorded in the United States in the 1990s. It may be a combination of the name Cheryl (itself a derivation of Cherry or a feminine form of Charles) and the suffix -dan, or possibly a blend with Dan. It has not been widely used and remains rare.
