About Everest
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.
Pronounced EV-er-est.
As of October 2026, Everest ranked #2053 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1579 in 2021.
