Meaning & origin
Beverlie is a rare variant of the more common Beverly, first recorded in the United States in 1923. Its peak year of usage was 1927, after which its popularity declined steadily. The name has a stable trajectory in recent decades, with very few new births each year. Despite being a variant, Beverlie reflects the same English place-name origins as Beverly, meaning 'beaver stream' or 'beaver meadow.' It was most likely used as a feminized spelling to distinguish from the male-dominated Beverly, which itself saw mid-20th century popularity. Today, Beverlie remains a rare and distinctive choice.
Beverlie is a variant spelling of the name Beverly. Beverly derives from an English place name, itself from Old English 'beofor' (beaver) and 'leah' (clearing, meadow). The name was originally a surname before coming into use as a given name in the late 19th century. The variant Beverlie likely emerged in the early 20th century, possibly to feminize the spelling.
