The feminine given name Shernette is of American origin, coined within the United States during the mid-20th century. It's a blend of two popular names from that era: Sheryl and Netta. The first half, 'Sher', comes from the name Sheryl, which itself was derived from the English word 'shire', meaning 'county'. Meanwhile, 'ette' is a diminutive suffix commonly used in female names, such as invette or margarette. Thus, Shernette roughly translates to 'little county'. The name gained popularity due to its phonetic appeal and the trend of creating unique names by blending common ones during that period.
"Shernette was born five times in 1977."
