Cheryllynn is an uncommon yet captivating given name of American origin. It is a blend of two popular names, Cheryl and Lynn, suggesting that those named Cheryllynn likely have parents who desired a unique yet familiar name for their child. The name Cheryl is derived from the Old English word 'ciric', meaning "belonging to an army". Lynn, on the other hand, comes from the Welsh place name Llanynys, which translates to "Holy well of the ash tree". Therefore, Cheryllynn can be interpreted as "Army belonging to the Holy Well of the Ash Tree", a unique and poetic meaning for such a distinctive name.

However, after reaching a high of nine births in 1978, the name's popularity began to decline, with fewer than eight births per year afterwards.
