About Beverly
Beverly, a charming English name meaning "beaver stream" or "meadow," is a testament to the beauty of British countryside. Its Old English roots, derived from "beofor" and "licc," evoke images of picturesque streams and lush green meadows. Originally a Yorkshire surname, it found its way into the realm of given names in the 19th century and gained widespread popularity in the United States following the publication of George Barr McCutcheon's novel "Beverly of Graustark." This gender-neutral name, once favored for boys, gained traction as a feminine choice in the early 1900s, reaching its peak in the 1930s.
