What is the origin, and meaning of the name Chirlinn?

This is the first name of a lovely lady from the Bahamas, and I wondered it's origin, and the meaning of it. Thank you.

What is the origin, and meaning of the name Chirlinn?
Chirlinn is an Irish Gaelic variant spelling of Cherilyn, which is a blend of the names Cheri and Lynn.





Cheri is of French origin, and its meaning is "dear one, darling."





Lynn is of English origin, and is a variant of Flann (Irish, Gaelic) "ruddy-complected." The Old English and Gaelic meaning is "lake," "waterfall," or "pool." Lynn is sometimes used as a diminutive of Linda (Spanish) "pretty." Lynn is especially used as a middle name, and as a feminine beginning or ending in many name blends, such as Kaylyn and Lynlee.
