Origin:British
Other Origin(s):Latin, French
Meaning:Cherry; Generous love; Dear, darling
A fruit, a tree, and several terms of endearment are all carried within the feminine name Cherrylyn. Combining Cherry and the name suffix -lyn, Cherrylyn could simply mean "cherry," describing the round red fruit that often comes in pairs. Cherries grow on cherry trees, any of several species of tree that blossom in early spring. When used as a first name, Cherry can act as a diminutive of Charity, an English title that holds definitions like "generous love" and "dear" from the Latin words caritas and carus. In French, the word chérie means "darling," and perhaps Cherrylyn gives that word another moment to be admired. One for a tiny tot who thrives when supporting and uplifting those around them, Cherrylyn will remind your child just how cherished they are.
