Sherrill
Sherrill in 2025
Sherrill was not given to any babies in 2025. The Social Security Administration only publishes a name once at least five babies receive it in a year, so Sherrill has fallen below that threshold.
The history of Sherrill
Sherrill reached its highest point in 1947, when 334 babies were given the name, ranking 811th that year. Its best-ever ranking was 726th, in 1944.
Across the 114 years of records since 1912, 8,847 babies have been named Sherrill. Half of them were born before 1949, which places the name's centre of gravity with the Baby Boomers.
Sherrill has switched sex over its history: it went mostly to boys in its early decades, and goes mostly to girls today.
