Meaning & origin
Sherral is an uncommon name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1937, reflecting the mid-20th-century trend of creating new names by altering familiar ones. Its peak usage occurred in 1950, though it never reached the top 1000, and its trajectory has remained stable but infrequent. The name is likely a variant of Cheryl or Sheryl, which themselves were popular in the 1940s and 1950s. Sherral's similarity to names like Gerald and Sherry reinforces its feminine, modern character. While no top states recorded notable usage, the name fits within the broader pattern of -al and -yl suffixed names popular in that era.
