      Cherisa is a relatively modern variation of the name Cherise, which indicates its emergence in the late 20th century as parents sought unique variations of classic names. While the name Cherise has historical roots linked to the French language and culture, Cherisa reflects a broader trend of evolving names in English-speaking countries.
