Origin
Meaning and history of Everli
The name Everli is believed to have originated from the Old English language, derived from the words "eofor," meaning "boar," and "leah," meaning "meadow" or "clearing." This combination suggests the name may have been used to describe a location or settlement where wild boars were found grazing in open fields.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Everli can be found in the Domesday Book, a comprehensive survey of land ownership in England commissioned by William the Conqueror in 1086. Here, the name appears as "Evorleah," referring to a small village in the county of Hampshire.
During the Middle Ages, the name Everli gained popularity among the English nobility. One notable figure bearing this name was Everli de Montfort (1245-1292), a prominent knight and military commander who fought alongside Simon de Montfort during the Second Barons' War against King Henry III.
In the 16th century, the name Everli appears in various historical records, including the works of the English playwright William Shakespeare. In his play "The Merry Wives of Windsor," one of the characters is named Everli Prick, suggesting the name was in use during the Elizabethan era.
Another notable figure with the name Everli was Everli Calcott (1723-1799), an English writer and naturalist who published several works on agriculture and natural history. Her book "A Treatise on the Breeding and Management of Sheep" was widely influential in the agricultural community of the time.
In the 19th century, the name Everli gained popularity in the United States, particularly among families of English descent. One prominent American bearing this name was Everli Wheelock (1835-1919), a pioneering educator and founder of the Wheelock Family Theatre in Boston, which remains a respected institution for children's theater to this day.
While the name Everli has roots in the English language and culture, its usage has spread to various parts of the world over the centuries. It has been adapted and transformed by different linguistic and cultural influences, evolving into various spellings and pronunciations across different regions.

FAQ
Everli: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Everli?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 416 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Everli going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 823,929 US residents.
Is Everli a common name?
We classify Everli as "Very Rare". It ranks above 82.7% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 419 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Everli most popular?
The single biggest year for Everli was 2021, when 85 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Everli is about 6 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Everli in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Everli a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Everli in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Everli still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Everli in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Everli can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
