Sheryl is a 20th-century American variant of Cheryl — itself a blend of Cherie + Beryl. **Sheryl Sandberg (born 1969)** — **American technology executive and writer; COO of Facebook/Meta from 2008 to 2022, the second-most-powerful executive at Facebook during its rise to over 3 billion users**. **Her 2013 book *Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead* sold over 4 million copies and prompted a global conversation about women's professional ambition** — though it also drew criticism for emphasizing individual rather than structural solutions. **Sheryl Crow (born 1962)** — American singer-songwriter; nine Grammy Awards; *All I Wanna Do* (1994), *If It Makes You Happy*. **Sheryl Lee Ralph (born 1956)** — Emmy-winning actress; *Abbott Elementary*. **Sheryl Swoopes (born 1971)** — first signed player in WNBA history (1996); three Olympic gold medals.
