Beverle
Beverle Origin and Meaning
Beverle is a feminine name that serves as a variation of the more common Beverly. With English origins, it was initially a surname derived from place names meaning "beaver stream" or "beaver meadow," combining the Old English words "beofor" (beaver) and "leah" (clearing or meadow). Beverle emerged as a softer, slightly more feminine spelling alternative to Beverly, which gained popularity as a first name for women primarily during the 1920s-1940s. While Beverly ranked among top choices mid-century, Beverle remained a less common variant. The name carries a vintage charm typical of names from that era, but has decreased in usage since its peak. Today, Beverle has a distinctive retro quality that might appeal to parents looking for uncommon vintage names with a gentle sound.
