What Does the Name Evrett Mean?

Evrett is a spelling of Everett, an English name usually glossed as "brave boar." Its literal sense is closer to "boar-hardy." The name goes back to the Old English personal name Eoforheard, built from eofor, "wild boar," and heard, "hardy, brave, strong."

A second Germanic source, the Norman Everard, is formed from the same two elements (Old Germanic ebur, "boar," and hard, "hardy"). In English use the two traditions overlap so closely that it is uncertain whether Everett descends mainly from the native Old English name or was reinforced by the Norman one; either way, the meaning is the same, and both elements refer to the boar as a symbol of courage and toughness.

Evrett Name History & Origins

Everett began as an English family name, and the family name came from a personal name. Eoforheard was a compound given name in Old English; after the Norman Conquest, native names of this kind largely stopped being used for children but often survived in surnames. Spellings such as Everard, Everet, and Everett appear in English records from the later Middle Ages and the early modern period.

The Normans brought their own Everard, from Old Germanic Eburhard, into England after 1066. Because it contained the same two elements as the English name, the two are difficult to separate in the surviving record and were likely used side by side for the same families.

Everett passed from surname to first name in the English-speaking world during the 1800s, a period when family names were frequently reused as given names. It has continued in use since then, especially in the United States.

Evrett is an uncommon spelling of the same name, made by dropping the second e. It is a variant written form rather than a separate name with its own derivation or history.
