Meaning & origin

The name first appeared in Social Security records in 1935, but its peak year of popularity was 1967. After that peak, usage declined steadily, and by 2025 it did not rank among the top 1000 names. The trajectory since 1967 has remained stable, with only occasional births. Sherie was most popular in the 1960s, reflecting a broader era of phonetic and creative variations of names like Sherry. It was never tied to any single state's top names, indicating a scattered but consistent use across the country.

Sherie is a phonetic variant of Sherry, a name that emerged in the mid-20th century. Sherry likely originated as a diminutive of Sharon, a biblical place name meaning 'plain' in Hebrew, or as a nickname for the French name Charlotte, a feminine form of Charles meaning 'free man'.
