Welcome to our laboratory and playground
Cheryl :) Lemme propose an alternative to
Nanaea 's very elegant approach.
Assuming that "
Cheryl " is derived from the fruit
Cherry , one can trace
Cheryl to the Greek "kerasos" (cherry) => "cerasus" (Latin) => cerise, cherry, kirsche etc (contemporary languages).... As a matter of fact there is a very early recorded Mycenaean *male* name "Keraso" (
George Babiniotis, *Hellenic Lexicon*).
