Is Sheri a girl's name or a boy's name?
For a boy I would prefer this transliteration: शेरि for a girl this one: शेरी (with long i) There is not such a name, as far as I know. But शृङ्गी [śṛṅgī] (nominative singular of शृङ्गिन् [śṛṅgin]) means "a animal with horns" शरी [śarī] (nominative singular of शरिन् [śarin] ) means "he who has arrows". Both Sanskrit.

Thank you - I should have clarified that it is a girl's name! It's a variation originating from the French word "cherie", which means beloved. It's pronounced "sherry" - like the drink. Does that make a difference?? In any case, I think I would prefer carrying arrows rather than wearing horns! ;-) Your profile says you are not based in India - where are you located? My close friend Bhavika is working in India for 6-12 months and wants me to come over for Diwali. What do you think?? Shaanti - Khushi - Pyaar Thanks again. Warm Regards - Sheri |

Hallo Sheri,
In Hindi and Sanskrit there is no difference between long and short e. Just ए, only in the Southern languages we have ஏ/எ(Tamil) ಏ / ಎ (Kannada). शरि [śari] is masculin. Female will be शरिणी [śariṇī]. Yes, visit India during Divali (Deepavali) !
