A female given name, a variant spelling of 'Sherry,' also a type of fortified wine from Spain (when referring to the drink, spelled 'sherry').
As a name, it's a modern variant of 'Sherry,' which comes from Jerez, Spain (Xeres in Spanish), where a famous fortified wine originates. The wine name comes from the place of origin.
The wine 'sherry' has an almost accidental name—English speakers couldn't pronounce Spanish 'Jerez' so they called it 'Sherris wine,' and that name stuck even though the Spanish kept using Jerez; it's one of the few wines named after a place we can't pronounce!
