Meaning & Origin
A surname.
Everley is a girl's baby name of Old English origin, from the surname meaning 'wild boar clearing' or 'Eofor's meadow,' a place name from England. Like Everett, Everly, and Everleigh, it has crossed from surname to given name status among American parents who appreciate its nature and history combination.
Everley has the breezy, literary quality of names like Hadley, Finley, and Harley — surnames that feel unexpectedly feminine when given as first names. It sounds like autumn leaves and bookshops, and sits right in the sweet spot of rare but recognizable.
