What defines an ice cream, sherbet, or sorbet is the milkfat content. Ice cream has the most, sherbet less so, and sorbet none. While sherbet is similar to ice cream, it is not the same thing.
Yes; sherbert (or when correctly spelled: sherbet) does contain dairy. In the US the legal requirement to be labeled as a sherbet (or sherbert) is that it must contain between 2% and 5% dairy (and or eggs). Above 5% dairy and it can no longer be called a sherbet, it would be an ice cream (or a frozen yogurt if the dairy used were yogurt instead of a cream or milk). Below 2% and it can no longer be called a sherbet, it would be a sorbet. Sorbet is basically flavored ice, and is the precursor to both sherbet and ice cream. It may contain up to 2% dairy, but traditionally you would leave out the dairy entirely if your goal is sorbet (especially since you really need to be over 2% to get any reasonable amount of creaminess from adding it, and at that point you are now making sherbet) Sorbet, sherbet and ice cream are often easily confused. They do all use essentially the same smoothing process; the difference between them is the volume of dairy used. Sorbet and sherbet both traditionally use fruit juice as their primary flavorings (but as with modern ice creams its possible to use almost anything - aside from dairy, which would be change its definition depending on volume)
Sorbet is fruit and sherbert is dairy. Sherbet: Is a frozen ice cream dessert made from fruit juice mixed with a milk or cream. It like an ice cream. Sorbet: Is a frozen dessert also made from fruit juice but with water and sugar. Like a fruit pop.

There is no equivalent name in French for sherbet, an intermediate between sorbet and ice-cream. The same word as for ice-cream would be used, "glace". Sorbet is exclusively reserved for ice cream that is made purely of fruit and sugar, with no dairy in it.
The original idea to make ice cream originated in Ancient Rome. Snow from the mountaintops would be mixed with muddled fruit to create a frozen dessert resembling sherbet. Eventually dairy products were added to form ice cream.
You can buy a sherbert cone at many ice cream parlors.
The basic similarity is where they start. The milk, as it comes directly from the cow, is a combination of milk and cream. Shortly after the cow is milked the milk is put into containers or vats for the cream rise to the top of the milk. The cream is drawn off and that's what ice cream is made from. Yogurt is made from the milk.
