Boar settlement
Don't let this name's meaning, "boar settlement," deter you. There's more to it than that! Everton derives from the Saxon word, eofor, referring to the wild creatures that live in forests. It quickly caught on as a surname denoting strength and vigor. This boy’s name teems with vintage charm and is a perfect choice if Hunter and Ainsley are already spoken for. Everton is also a district in Liverpool, England, and the name of a beloved football club nicknamed The Toffees or The Toffeemen. It's a rather wholesome story, but the point is that your little one will undoubtedly be a fan of soccer and sweets.
