Meaning & origin
Sherria is a name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1945, likely as a modern adaptation of the earlier Sherry. Its trajectory has been stable but low; the name saw its peak in 1980, and it has never ranked among the top 1000 names. With a one-in-N that is effectively zero due to its rarity, Sherria remains a distinctive choice. It was most common in the 1980s, and its use has not seen a revival.
Sherria appears to be a modern American coinage, formed by blending or extending the popular name Sherry (itself a diminutive of Sharon or a variant of Cherry) with the feminine suffix -ia. It first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1945 and saw moderate use during the 1950s through 1980s, peaking in 1980. Its usage has since declined, remaining rare in recent decades.
