Cherylan is a unisex given name of modern origin, first appearing in recent years. It is composed of two elements: "Cherry," referring to the fruit of the cherry tree, and "lan," which is thought to be derived from the Welsh masculine name Llewelyn. The name Cherylan has not been extensively used historically, making it quite unique among names today. Its phonetic pronunciation closely resembles that of the fruit's name, with a stress on the second syllable: /SHƏR-ee-lən/.
Cherylan is quite rare, with only two reported births over those years.
