The story of Everett
Germanic naming used animal elements for the qualities they stood for, and the boar meant a fighter that stands its ground; Anglo-Saxon helmets were crested with boars. Eberhard gave Everard and then Everett. It became an American given name for boys and, recently, for girls, and is in current use.
Meaning
brave as a boar
From the Germanic eber, 'wild boar', and hard, 'brave' or 'hardy', through the Old English Eoforheard and the German Eberhard. The boar was the standard Germanic image of ferocity. The elements are ordinary and undisputed.
