The history of the last name Everling

The surname Everling has its origins in Germany, with records dating back to the 16th century. The name is believed to be derived from the Old German word "eburian," which meant "boar hunter." It is possible that the earliest bearers of this surname were hunters or foresters who specialized in hunting wild boars.

One of the earliest recorded examples of the name Everling can be found in the parish records of the town of Göttingen, located in Lower Saxony, Germany. The records show an individual named Hans Everling, born in 1543, who worked as a gamekeeper in the service of a local nobleman.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, the Everling name spread across different parts of Germany, with various spellings such as Everling, Eberling, and Eberlingen appearing in historical documents. Some of these documents include land records, tax rolls, and church registers from regions like Bavaria, Saxony, and Thuringia.

In the early 19th century, a notable bearer of the Everling surname was Johann Friedrich Everling (1784-1861), a German theologian and philosopher. He was born in Quedlinburg and served as a professor at the University of Halle. His works focused on the intersection of religion and philosophy, and he made significant contributions to the field of Protestant theology.

Another prominent figure with the Everling surname was Wilhelm Everling (1832-1901), a German architect and urban planner. He was born in Hanover and was responsible for designing several notable buildings in Berlin, including the Reichsbank and the St. Matthäus-Kirche.

In the late 19th century, the Everling name appeared in several small towns and villages in the Harz Mountains region of Germany. One such place was the village of Everlingen, located near Göttingen, which likely derived its name from the Everling surname or vice versa, reflecting the presence of families with this name in the area.

Throughout history, several other individuals with the Everling surname made notable contributions in various fields. These include Karl Everling (1865-1943), a German artist and painter known for his landscapes and portraits, and Ernst Everling (1871-1945), a German politician and member of the Reichstag during the Weimar Republic.
