Sheryl McFarlane: Hi, Sheryl McFarlane here. Sheryl is an old English or German girl's name, meaning free man or person. It's pronounced Sher El. My last name, McFarlane, is pronounced Mac Far Lane and it dates back to the 12 or 13th century in Scotland. The name has been Anglicized from the original Gaelic language. The first part, Mac means son of, or generally of the clan. Farlane refers to having many furrows, so McFarlane means son of the clan where you find many furrows. That makes me a free person of the Farlane clan.
