Everlyn is a modern American blend of Everly and Evelyn, so it borrows Evelyn's usual reading, "wished-for child", from the Norman French Aveline, while taking its first syllables from the surname-turned-first-name Everly. It is one of several -lyn respellings that followed Evelyn's return to the top 10. In the United States Everlyn had fewer than five births in 2000, jumped from number 4331 in 2015 to number 2039 in 2020 and ranks number 2006 in 2025, its best rank yet.
