Beverlye Origin and Meaning

The name Beverlye is a girl's name.

Beverlye is a feminine name that represents an elaborated spelling variant of Beverly. The traditional Beverly originated as an English surname derived from a place name meaning 'beaver stream' or 'beaver meadow,' combining the Old English elements 'beofer' (beaver) and 'leah' (clearing or meadow). This particular spelling with the final 'e' adds a touch of decorative flair to the classic name. Beverly was quite popular as a girl's name in the United States during the mid-20th century, particularly the 1930s through 1950s, but the Beverlye variant has always been exceedingly rare. The added 'e' gives a vintage, somewhat ornate quality that might appeal to parents seeking to revive the classic Beverly with a distinctive spelling twist.
