Ever

Origin

English language, derived from the Old English 'efer', meaning 'long eel' or 'short for Everard' (which itself stems from Old Germanic elements 'ewa' meaning 'ever' and 'hard' meaning 'brave, hardy'). The name 'Ever' as a given name is a modern and less common variation, potentially inspired by the word 'ever' in English, signifying eternity or forever. It is not traditionally found in ancient texts but has gained contemporary usage in Australia as a unique name choice.

Meaning

Literal translation as 'always' or 'eternal', symbolising continuity or everlasting qualities. In Australian contexts, it may also carry connotations of enduring strength and resilience.
