Sheryl is a feminine name of a few origins. It is thought to be a slightly Anglicized variation on the name Cheryl, which stems from the French term chérie and Latin cara, meaning “beloved” or “darling.” Sheryl gives you a sweet way of incorporating your favorite nicknames for baby into their given name while still maintaining that fashionable presentation. Sheryl is also believed to derive from German origins, meaning “man.” Besides these associations, Sheryl has been made famous by singer Sheryl Crow, whose hits like If It Makes You Happy and All I Wanna Do have a timeless resonance and might even become baby’s karaoke go-to's, as soon as they’re old enough to hold the mic!
