Everett

  • [ EV-ə-rit, EV-rit ]
  • English
From a surname which was derived from the given name EVERARD.

EVERARD   male   English (Rare)
Means "brave boar", derived from the Germanic elements ebur "wild boar" and hard "brave, hardy". The Normans introduced it to England, where it joined the Old English cognate Eoforheard. It has only been rarely used since the Middle Ages. Modern use of the name may be inspired by the surname Everard, itself derived from the medieval name.
