Flawless & foolproof. Highly uncommon. Elegant and classy but not over the top. One of those names that can be pronounced slightly differently depending on your mood ("reece," "reeze," "share," "sher...") Nicknames would include Cher, Cherry, 'Sherry,' Cherie, Reece, etc. Versatile and would combine beautifully with nearly anything.
Cherise Willeit (née Taylor, previously Stander) is a South African professional road cyclist. She has won a single African and four South African championship titles, in both the road race and the time trial, and later represented her nation at the 2008 Summer Olympics. Willeit also raced for Belgium's Lotto–Belisol Ladies professional cycling team in 2011 and 2012.
Cherise Roberts is an English singer and songwriter who is a member of dance-pop duo Cherise & Nadia a.k.a. Booty Luv. She is also a former member of the hip hop group Big Brovaz. She has been with both groups since they both started. Cherise released a solo album, Look Inside before the debut album Nu-Flow by Big Brovaz was released. It only spawned one single, "2nd Best", while the album won a MOBO award.
I found the meaning in English is to "cherish" and the meaning in French is "darling." Which makes sense when you look at the southern Creole language; they use "Cheree" as a term in endearment. "My Cheree:" my darling. My nickname is Reese, Reesie, Reesey, the list goes on. :-)
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.
My friend had a sister named Cherise, they called her Reese, or Reesey for a nickname.
I love this spelling of the name, especially given the French influence of the first syllable: *cher* (means "dear").
Cherise is French, it means to cherish. It is pronounced sher-reese. Other forms are Cher, Cherie and Cherry.
I think this name is beautiful. It just flows of the tongue. I like the nicknames Sherry and Cherry for it.
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.
