Meaning & Origin
A male given name from Old English.
Everette is a boy's and girl's baby name of Old English origin, a variant of Everett, from the Old German Eberhard meaning 'strong boar' or 'brave as a boar,' combining eber (boar) and hard (strong). The additional "e" gives it a slightly more formal, Southern American character.
Everette has the old-money Southern quality of names like Barrett, Garrett, and Emmett — distinguished, dependable, and carrying a certain patrician weight. It sounds like a grandfather's name that's worthy of revival, which is exactly why it's gaining ground again.
