The name Varner is of English origin, derived from an Old English personal name that was composed of two elements: 'beorht' meaning bright, and '-n,' which could indicate a diminutive form. This suggests that the original meaning of Varner may have been something like 'little bright one.' Over time, this name has evolved and is now typically associated with England, where it has been used as a given name and occasionally as a surname. The name Varner reached its peak popularity in the early 20th century in the United States but remains quite uncommon today.
"Varner saw a peak of 8 births in 1914, followed by consistent numbers ranging from 5 to 7 until 1918. After a gap of several years, there were another 5 births in 1965, bringing the total to 43."
