Census
Everlee in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 2,665 people with the first name Everlee, which placed it at #6,114 in the published first-name tables. This is a snapshot of people who already had the name at the time of the Census.
The SSA sections elsewhere on this page answer a different question: how often parents gave the name to babies over time. The "people living today" figure on this page is different again: it is a current estimate built from SSA birth records and age-based survival rates, so the two numbers are not expected to match exactly.

Demographics
Ancestry and ethnicity for Everlee
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Everlee is White at 78.8%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (10.7%) and Two or More Races (6.5%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself.
The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Everlee described their own race and ethnicity on the 2020 Census form. The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given name, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown so the breakdown is easy to read across every published category. Because the 2020 Census first-name file also includes raw headcounts for each group, Name Census can show those alongside the percentages in the legend and hover tooltip.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A first name does not determine a person's race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the name Everlee at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Everlee
The name Everlee is a relatively modern invention, likely derived from a combination of the English words "ever" and "lee". It is not a traditional name with deep historical roots or origins in any specific language or culture.
The word "ever" is derived from the Old English term "�æfre", which means "always" or "at any time". It has its roots in the Proto-Germanic "*ai-wiz-", meaning "age" or "eternity". The word "lee" refers to a sheltered area or the side away from the wind, originating from the Old English "hleo".
While the name Everlee itself does not have a long historical record, some of its components have been used in names throughout history. For example, the element "ever" can be found in names like Evelyn, Everard, and Everett, which have been in use since medieval times.
One of the earliest recorded instances of a name similar to Everlee is Everild, a feminine name found in the Domesday Book of 1086, which was a survey of land ownership in England commissioned by William the Conqueror. However, this name is likely unrelated to the modern Everlee.
Due to its recent coinage, there are no famous historical figures specifically named Everlee. However, here are five notable individuals with names that share elements with Everlee:
1. Evelyn Underhill (1875-1941), an English writer and philosopher known for her works on mysticism and spiritual life.
2. Everard Digby (1578-1606), an English Catholic conspirator who participated in the Gunpowder Plot against King James I.
3. Everett Dirksen (1896-1969), an American politician who served as a United States Senator and played a significant role in the civil rights movement.
4. Evelyn Waugh (1903-1966), a renowned English novelist known for works such as "Brideshead Revisited" and "A Handful of Dust".
5. Everette Leroy DeGolyer (1886-1956), an American geophysicist and businessman who played a crucial role in the development of the petroleum industry.
While the name Everlee may not have a deep historical lineage, its modern appeal and unique combination of components have contributed to its increasing popularity in recent years.

FAQ
Everlee: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Everlee?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 6,704 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Everlee going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 51,127 US residents.
Is Everlee a common name?
We classify Everlee as "Rare". It ranks above 97.1% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 6,782 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Everlee most popular?
The single biggest year for Everlee was 2022, when 871 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Everlee is about 6 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Everlee in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 2,665 people with the name Everlee, or 0.88 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #6,114 in the national Census ranking for first names.
Why is the Census count different from the living estimate?
Because they measure different things. The Census figure is a count of people who had the name Everlee in 2020. The living estimate aims to answer a current question instead: how many people with the name are alive today, based on SSA birth records and age-based survival rates. Since one number is a 2020 snapshot and the other is a present-day estimate, they are not expected to be identical.
What does the Census say about the gender split for Everlee?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Everlee appears almost entirely female. Of the 2,669 people counted with this name, 99.4% were female and only a very small share were male. The Census view is a snapshot of people living with the name in 2020, while the SSA section above tracks births across time.
What does the Census say about the background of people named Everlee?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Everlee is White at 78.8%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (10.7%) and Two or More Races (6.5%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself. The percentages in the chart above come from self-reported race and Hispanic-origin responses in the 2020 Census.
Which group reports the name Everlee most often in the Census?
White is the largest reported group for people named Everlee in the 2020 Census, accounting for 78.8% (2,099 people in the published table).
Why can the Census sex total and race total differ slightly?
The Census Bureau published separate 2020 tables for sex and for race/Hispanic origin, and the released figures can differ slightly because of privacy protection in the public files. That is why this page treats the gender section and the race/origin section as two related snapshots instead of forcing them into one identical total.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only includes names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files have no Census demographic snapshot. When that happens, the SSA trend, gender history, and state sections still appear, but the 2020 Census demographic sections are omitted.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Everlee in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Everlee a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Everlee in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Everlee still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Everlee in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Everlee can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate.
