Comments for the name Cherise

Comments for CHERISE:

I do not think that the best explanation for Cherice and Cherise is that they are variations of "Cerise". Instead I believe that they are spelling variations of Charisse, the surname of the Hollywood star Cyd Charisse. Charisse, Charise, Charice, Cherice, Cherise, Chereese, etc. seem to date from the time Ms. Charisse was famous. Her surname came from her first husband, Nico Charisse, her dance teacher, who was himself a son of Calliope Charisse, a famous dance teacher in France who was of Greek descent. It seems most logical to assume that Charisse is a "Frenchification" of the Greek word "charis" and so Cherice and Cherise are more related to Charis and Charissa than they are to Cerise.

I think this name is beautiful. It just flows of the tongue. I like the nicknames Sherry and Cherry for it.

Cherise is French, it means to cherish. It is pronounced sher-reese. Other forms are Cher, Cherie and Cherry.

I love this spelling of the name, especially given the French influence of the first syllable: *cher* (means "dear").

My friend had a sister named Cherise, they called her Reese, or Reesey for a nickname.

I think this is a nice name. However, I have trouble picturing it on a little girl, possibly just because I've known two grown women with this name.
