Meaning & origin
From the boar meadow
Everly began as an English place-name and surname, likely combining Old English words for 'boar' and 'meadow' or 'clearing'. It entered wide first-name use only in the 2010s, part of a wave of surname-style names ending in '-ly', and gained a further boost from its association with the pop duo the Everly Brothers.
