Cheryl

Write about your first name

Cheryl is a derived from the French word, cherie, which means friend. So the meaning listed in baby name books for Cheryl is “dear beloved” or “sweet friend”.

Friendships mean a lot of me and I try to be there for my friends as much as possible. So I guess I’m living my name. I definitely believe that names are powerful and they have an impact on who we are and become.

Fun fact: Growing up, my name was mispronounced so much. Now, as an adult, if I meet someone who gets my name right the first time, I immediately have a liking for the person. Haha.
