What Does the Name Everton Mean?
Everton is an English habitational name meaning wild boar settlement or wild boar farmstead. It comes from Old English eofor, 'wild boar,' and tūn, 'enclosure, farmstead, settlement.' The second element is the same tūn found in many English place names ending in -ton. Some explanations treat eofor as a personal name, Eofor, so the sense would be 'Eofor's settlement'; the exact sense at each place is not certain. The core derivation is Old English, not a combination of the modern English word 'ever' with 'ton.'
Everton Name History & Origins
Everton began as an English place name. Places called Everton include a village in Bedfordshire and the district of Everton in Liverpool, in the historic county of Lancashire. From these places, the habitational surname Everton developed: a person who moved from an Everton could be identified by that place name, and the surname became hereditary in England. The Liverpool district gave its name to Everton Football Club. As a given name, Everton is a transferred use of the surname. It is used as a masculine name in the English-speaking Caribbean and in Brazil, where several footballers have borne it.
