Sweet and stylish, with a sporty, energetic undertone, Everly is a name that ticks lots of boxes.
 
It's a contemporary choice that doesn't sound invented; it's got unisex appeal but still sounds girly; it's got nickname potential and a popular initial; it's reminiscent enough of Emily and Evelyn, of Beverley and Ashley, that despite its modern usage, it shouldn't raise too many eyebrows when you announce it.
 
The name is derived from Old English roots, from a surname that was also a place name. It means "wild boar in a woodland clearing", and is related to another popular choice, Everett, which means "brave as a wild boar." Boars were once associated with strength and power, and an honor to be named for.
 
While this meaning lends Everly a hint of adventure and toughness, there is the possibility to play around with it a bit, if you want to push boundaries. Breaking it down into the words "Ever" and "ley" — which means clearing, meadow or woodland — you could stretch it to mean "eternal meadow" or "eternal woods."
 
Part Eva, part Emily, part Avery, Everly was once tied to the Everly Brothers, a musical duo popular in the 50s and 60s.
 
Now, however, it is more likely to be associated with Everleigh Labrant, of YouTube fame, and as a celebrity-style choice, with actors Channing and Jenna Tatum, and TV personalities Chad and Erin Paine choosing it for their daughters.
 
In fact, Channing and Jenna Tatum's use of Everly in 2013 propelled it from a rarity to the Top 200. Popular now in Canada and rising in the UK, Everly has been in the US Top 100 since 2017.
 
Stylish, contemporary, and familiar, Everly is sparkly but with an edginess to it. One possible drawback to Everly, however, is that while it doesn't rank as highly as the likes of Olivia or Emma, when you combine all the spelling variations, there are nearly 5000 girls given the name every year in the US.
 
This could make it feel like a Top 20 name, ranking somewhere between Harper, Sofia, and Luna. If do you enjoy Everly then, but want something a little different, Ember, Waverly, Connelly, or simply Ever, could be alternative options.
