Everest Origin and Meaning

The name Everest is a girl's name meaning "from Évreux".

Everest has an attractive enough sound and lofty enough meaning to come into style, à la Sierra. George Lucas bestowed this aspirational name on his baby daughter in 2013 and it has been climbing up the charts ever since. Currently in the US Top 1000 for boys, it was also given to around 100 girls in a recent year.

Mount Everest is named after George Everest, a British surveyor, whose surname means "from Évreux", a place in Normandy.
