What the Data Says About Sheri

The Social Security Administration has registered 60,457 babies named Sheri between 1928 and 2023, spanning 96 consecutive years of U.S. birth records.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Sheri performed strongest in the 1960s, accumulating 27,327 births during that ten-year window. Across the 11 decades of recorded activity, Sheri shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 8,278 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Texas and Illinois. In total, SSA state-level files list Sheri in 51 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Sheri in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 60,457 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
