Everhard Origin and Meaning

The name Everhard is a boy's name.

Everhard is a masculine name of Germanic origin, combining the elements "ever" (meaning boar or wild pig, which symbolized strength and courage) and "hard" (meaning strong, brave, or hardy). The name dates back to medieval times when animal attributes were considered desirable characteristics. While uncommon in modern usage, Everhard carries a strong, masculine quality that reflects determination and resilience. The name may also be related to the more common Everett or Eberhard. Some may find the modern English interpretation of the elements challenging, as it can be misinterpreted in contemporary slang, which has likely contributed to its rarity.
