Meaning of Sherlyne
Sherlyne is a feminine name of English origin, formed as a modern variant of Shirley—originally from the Old English elements scīr (“bright”) and lēah (“clearing”)—with the suffix -yne adding a contemporary twist. Pronounced SHER-lin (/ˈʃɜr.lɪn/), Sherlyne has maintained modest popularity in the United States, appearing between 5 and 23 times annually from 2002 to 2014 and generally ranking in the 900s, with a peak at rank 931 in 2010.
