Meaning & origin
Bevely first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1931, and its peak year came in 1958, when it saw its highest usage. Since then, the name has remained rare, with no recent reappearance in the top 1000. As a variant of Beverly, it shares the same English origin meaning 'beaver stream.' The name's trajectory has been stable but barely used, and it has been recorded primarily for girls. Though it never achieved widespread popularity, it fits among the mid-century names like Shirley and Marilyn, reflecting the style of that era.
