Meaning & origin
Everleigh is a modern coinage that first appeared on U.S. birth records in 2008, and it quickly became a favorite for parents seeking a soft, feminine name with a fashionable -lee ending. By 2020, it reached its peak rank, but its trajectory has been falling since 2021. As of 2025, it ranked 194th with an incidence of roughly 1 in 995 girls. Its highest per-capita popularity was seen in West Virginia, Arkansas, and South Dakota. The spelling with 'leigh' instead of 'ly' feels elaborate and distinct, contributing to its appeal alongside similar names like Everly and Everlee.
Everleigh is a modern invented name, formed by blending the word 'ever' with the popular suffix 'lee' (from Old English 'leah' meaning 'clearing' or 'meadow'). It first appeared in the United States in 2008 and gained rapid popularity throughout the 2010s.
