Meaning & History

(female) 19th-century coinage, probably taken from the vocabulary word denoting the fruit (Middle English cheri(e), from Old French cherise). However, in some cases it is derived from a transferred use of the surname Cherry (to which the naturalist and pioneer photographer Cherry Kearton owed his name). Dickens used Cherry as a pet form of Charity: in Martin Chuzzlewit (1844) Mr Pecksniff 's daughters Charity and Mercy are known as Cherry and Merry. In modern usage it is perhaps in some cases an Anglicization of French Chérie.

Variant: Cherrie.
