The name of the village is derived from a piece of land on which the first monks settled and later built their first monastery.{{citation needed|date=August 2015}} At the beginning, the village was called Cherneche; it was later changed to Chernche, and finally it became Cherche, which is still in use today.{{citation needed|date=August 2015}}

Until 18 July 2020, Cherche belonged to Rohatyn Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast to six. The area of Rohatyn Raion was merged into Ivano-Frankivsk Raion.{{Cite news|title=Про утворення та ліквідацію районів.
