Meaning and history
Everly comes from the English surname Everly, which originated as a place name from Old English eofor, meaning “boar,” and leah, meaning “woodland” or “clearing.” Notable bearers of the surname include the musical duo the Everly Brothers, Don (1937–2021) and Phil (1939–2014). The name began rising on American popularity charts in 2008, increasing slowly until 2012 and then more quickly afterward, possibly due to the folk band Everly, whose music appeared on One Tree Hill, or simply because it resembles names such as Everett, Evelyn, and Beverly.
