Everleigh

Girl name · 57 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Everleigh: 57 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 15 births in 2022.

Everleigh is a modern given name drawn from the Old English place name Everleigh, meaning “boar clearing” or “Eofor’s woodland.” It follows the popular -leigh suffix trend, sharing roots with surnames like Everley and Beverly. While the name has few historical bearers, it gained visibility through American social media personality Everleigh Rose, and a character in the TV series *The Fosters*. The English village of Everleigh in Wiltshire preserves the original spelling and meaning. Variants include Everly, which has become a separate popular name in its own right. Though a relatively recent arrival on Scottish birth registers, Everleigh appeals to parents seeking a nature-inspired, lyrical name with a touch of vintage charm.
