Everly Origin and Meaning

The name Everly is both a boy's name and a girl's name of English origin meaning "wild boar in woodland clearing".

Everly originated as a toponymic surname derived from the Old English roots eofor, meaning "boar," and leah, "clearing." It is related to the Germanic name Eberhard, meaning "brave as a wild boar," from which popular name Everett also derived. Wild boars represented strength and courage to ancient Germanic peoples, who often took on names with animal meanings.

Everly is part Eva, part Emily, and a large part Everly Brothers. Channing Tatum used it for his daughter in 2013, which propelled it to become one of the fastest-rising names of the past few years. Also spelled Everleigh, it entered the US Top 100 for the first time in 2017.
