About Everett
Everett is a preppy but outdoorsy name, with wintery New England vibes. In the last decade, it’s had a leap in popularity, perhaps because of its similarity to trendy girls’ names like Ava and Scarlett, or perhaps because it offers a fresh alternative to 90’s style Evan and Brett.

Despite its sleek, sharp sounds, Everett’s meaning lends it some rugged charm. An English variation of the German Eberhard, it means "brave as a wild boar".
George Clooney and Dermot Mulroney drew attention to the name when they played Everetts on screen back in the 2000s. More recently, Everett Ross from Marvel’s Black Panther, and Everett Acker from the television series Breaking Badshone a spotlight back on the name.
Everett feels fresh and contemporary, fitting into the trend of surnames-as-given-names and getting cool points from its fashionable V sound. But it also a name with a history. It ranked in the US Top 100 at the beginning of the 20th century, offering it a sense of solidity.
Now, it’s revived and more loved than ever, with 4000 parents choosing it for their sons each year. Gentle but sophisticated, wild but refined, Everett could become an even more poplar choice in the future.
If the sound of Everett appeals to you but the popularity doesn’t, you could consider Barrett, Truett, Beckett, Merritt, or Garnett. If its style intrigues you but you want something more unique perhaps Everest, Wilder, Patton, Roscoe, or Huxley could be a place to start.
Everett for girls#2306 US
Everett is a male name that's a prime crossover candidate, much like Eliot, Ellis, and Ellery.
With its newfound popularity for boys stemming from its similarity to trendy sisters, Eva, Evelyn and Avery and with its sounds echoing the popular Everly, Scarlett and Violet, Everett makes sense as a unisex name.
The name has been given to 70 girls in the US in each recent year, and was chosen by YouTube vlogging family, LivingRosa, for their daughter in 2017.
Pronounced EV-ur-et.
As of October 2026, Everett ranked #77 in US births in 2025 SSA, Nameberry popularity #28.
