Английская Википедия:Beverly (name)
Материал из Онлайн справочника
It is derived from an English surname, which was in turn taken from the place name Beverley. The place name derives from Old English, combining Шаблон:Lang (beaver) and Шаблон:Lang (clearing).
It was at one time a common masculine given name, but is now almost exclusively a feminine name due to the popularity of a 1904 novel, Beverly of Graustark by George Barr McCutcheon.[1] Its association with Beverly Hills, California, where many well known film actors live, might also have contributed to its usage in the United States.[2]
Usage
The name ranked among the 1,000 most popular names for newborn girls in the United States between 1905 and 1999 and was among the top 100 names for American girls between 1926 and 1964. It was at the peak of its popularity in 1937, when it was the 14th most popular name for newborn girls. It was also among the 1,000 most popular names for American boys at different points between 1880 and 1954.
It was among the top 100 names for newborn girls in Canada between 1929 and 1963, and among the top 100 names for newborn girls in New Zealand between 1930 and 1953.[3] The name is increasing again in usage, influenced by the popularity of similar sounding names such as Everly and Bellamy.[4]
