My grandmother used to call all of her kids and grandkids “Schekerle“. I am not sure how to spell it exactly. Is there a meaning in Hebrew or Yiddish for Schekerle or Sheker-le? I know that a -le at the end of something can mean “little” and it’s something endearing.

I've never heard of schekerle used of people. The word sheker means "lie." I don't think it makes sense for her to endearingly call children "little lies." I don't know where the expression would come from.
