Searcher or wild
Derived from the Irish surname Ó Sirideáin, it traditionally means 'searcher' or 'wild one'. While historically used for boys, it gained traction as a rare feminine choice in the late 20th century, often associated with the literary legacy of Richard Brinsley Sheridan.
Fewer than 5 girls were named Sheriden in 2025.
