The girl's name Cherry \ch(er)-ry\ is pronounced CHARE-ee. It is of Middle English and Old French origin. 19th-century coinage probably from the fruit-bearing tree of the rose family (Middle English "cherie", from Old French "cherise"). Sometimes also derived as a transferred use of the surname made famous by naturalist and photographer Cherry Kearton. Also a pet form of Charity, as used by Charles Dickens in "Martin Chuzzlewit" (1844), or variant of Chery. Modern use may sometimes be an Anglicization of the French Chérie.
