Old English roots
Everly originated as an English place name and surname from the Old English eofor (wild boar) and lēah (meadow or clearing). The Everly Brothers — Don and Phil — were among the most influential rock-and-roll acts of the 1950s and 60s, known for harmonies that influenced the Beatles and Simon & Garfunkel. As a girl's given name, Everly was essentially unused until Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan named their daughter Everly in 2013. The name entered the US top 100 within two years and has climbed rapidly, part of a broader trend of -ly ending names for girls.
