Sheree

Girl name · 232 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Sheree: 232 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 26 births in 1990.

Sheree is most commonly a modern English variant of the French name Chérie, meaning "darling" or "beloved," though it can also occasionally serve as a respelling of the Irish name Sheera or the Indian name Sherry. A notable bearer is the celebrated Australian actress and singer Sheree Da Costa, best known for her television roles. The name also appears in the performing arts through the American singer-songwriter Sheree Brown, who wrote hits for artists like Chaka Khan. While there is no major place directly named after a bearer, the root word "chérie" shares its etymology with the French town of Cherbourg, whose name means "beloved fortress." Interestingly, Sheree experienced a modest spike in popularity in Scotland during the 1980s, likely influenced by the character Sheree Pollick from the popular TV drama *EastEnders*.
