//ˈʃɛɹəl// name

Definitions

Proper Noun
  1. 1
    A female given name originating as a coinage.

    "Cheryl is a woman of few interests: she will be watching TV or she'll be out shopping. "Cheryl" is a soft, round, pleasant name. "Cheryl" sounds like a person who listens to classic rock, irons aprons and plays bunko. In fact, she's not an aunt at all. She's a glorified housekeeper."

Etymology

Coined in the early 20th century, possibly a blend of Cherie or Cherry and Beryl. (See cher for the etymology of Cherie.)
