Sherida — girls' name

What the Data Says About Sherida

The Social Security Administration has registered 997 babies named Sherida between 1945 and 2000, spanning 56 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Sherida currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2000. The name reached its historical peak in 1949, when 71 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Sherida performed strongest in the 1970s, accumulating 251 births during that ten-year window. Across the 7 decades of recorded activity, Sherida shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 23 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Illinois and Ohio. In total, SSA state-level files list Sherida in 6 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Sherida 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 997 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
