Charish, pronounced shuh-REESH (/ʃəˈriːʃ/), feels like a whispered promise of love, pulling its spark from the English verb “to cherish” (Old French cherir, “to hold dear”). It’s like a secret handshake between hearts, wrapping every tiny syllable in warmth and devotion. Though it’s never stormed the bestseller lists, Charish has glimmered gently in U.S. baby-name charts for decades—nestled around the 900s in recent years—adding to its irresistible allure as a rare, hidden treasure. With its blend of familiar roots and playful originality, Charish inspires a lifelong sense of being treasured and celebrated, a perfect pick for parents who want a name brimming with heart.
