Meaning & origin
Sherrice is an example of a mid-20th-century American invention, a blend of fashionable sounds and name fragments. First recorded in 1960, it reached its peak year of 1971, during the decade when it was most common. Despite that peak, the name never entered the top 1000, reflecting its extremely rare usage. It has remained stable in obscurity since its peak. As with many such coinages, its charm lies in its uniqueness rather than in any deep historical or etymological roots.
Sherrice is a modern invented name, first recorded in the 1960s. It appears to be a combination of the popular name Sherry (itself a diminutive of Sharon or a variant of Sherry from French chérie 'dear') and the suffix -rice, possibly influenced by names like Joyce or Clarice. The name saw modest use in the 1970s, peaking in 1971, but has since become rare.
