Everet is of English origin, derived from the medieval personal name Evereard, which is believed to be composed of two Old English elements: 'eofor' meaning 'boar', and 'hred' signifying 'army'. Over time, this name evolved into Everard, and later simplified to Everet. It was not particularly common in its original form, but it has been used occasionally throughout history. However, it is not currently among the most popular choices for newborns, making it a unique yet classic option for parents looking for an uncommon name with a rich history.
The name Everet experienced fluctuations in popularity throughout the years, with significant peaks in certain decades. The highest number of births recorded was 19 in 1925 and again in 1949 (assuming a leap year), while the lowest was 5 in multiple years between 1886 and 2023. Despite these fluctuations, the name has maintained a consistent presence over time, with at least one birth recorded every decade since 1886 up until 2023.
