The history of the last name Everage

The surname Everage is of English origin, originating from the county of Yorkshire in the north of England. It is believed to have derived from the Old English words "efere" meaning "boar" and "ege" meaning "district" or "region". This suggests that the name was originally a locational name, referring to a place where boars were found or an area inhabited by people who hunted boars.

The earliest recorded instance of the name can be found in the Yorkshire Poll Tax Rolls of 1379, where a person named Robert de Everege is mentioned. This spelling variation, "Everege", shows the transition from the Old English roots to the modern form of the name.

In the 16th century, the name appears in various records from the Yorkshire area, such as parish registers and court documents. One notable bearer of the name was John Everage, born in 1543 in the village of Kirkby Malzeard, Yorkshire. He was a prominent landowner and served as a local magistrate.

Another historical reference to the name can be found in the records of the Archbishopric of York, where a William Everage is mentioned as a tenant farmer in the village of Topcliffe in the year 1627.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, the name spread to other parts of England, with records showing Everage families in counties such as Lancashire, Nottinghamshire, and Derbyshire. One notable figure from this period was Samuel Everage (1692-1768), a successful merchant and shipowner from the town of Hull, Yorkshire.

In the 19th century, the name Everage continued to be found in various regions of England, with bearers of the name pursuing diverse occupations such as farming, mining, and manufacturing. One prominent individual from this era was Mary Everage (1818-1892), a pioneering educator who established one of the first schools for girls in the city of Sheffield.

As the centuries passed, the Everage surname also spread to other parts of the world, including North America and Australia, as individuals migrated from England in search of new opportunities. Notable bearers of the name in more recent times include the American author and journalist William Everage (1904-1986) and the Australian artist and sculptor Elizabeth Everage (1923-2008).
