Origin and meaning of Everly
Everly started life as an English surname of Anglo-Saxon origin, combining eofor, 'boar', and leah, 'clearing', hence 'boar clearing'. Made famous as a surname by the musical duo The Everly Brothers, it has since crossed over into a girls' given name in the US, rising quickly through the SSA rankings over the last decade as part of the broader surname-as-first-name trend. Its soft sound and -ly ending are a big draw for American parents.
