Meaning & origin
Beverely is a variant spelling of Beverly, a name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1930. It reached its peak popularity in 1945, during the baby boom era, and has since seen stable but minimal usage. The name never cracked the top 1000 nationally; its highest rank in any given year was outside the top tier. While it lacks a clear one-in-N figure due to low frequency, its trajectory shows a consistent, modest presence. Like many mid-century names, Beverely reflects the trend of place-name and surname adoptions that became fashionable for girls.
Beverely is a variant spelling of Beverly, which originated as an English surname from a place name meaning 'beaver stream' in Old English (beofor 'beaver' + leah 'clearing, meadow'). The surname became a given name for girls in the early 20th century, particularly in the United States, and reached peak popularity in the 1940s.
