English : from a Germanic personal name composed of the elements eber ‘wild boar’ + hard ‘brave’, ‘hardy’, ‘strong’. The surname was at first found mainly in East Anglia (still one of the principal locations of the variant Everett), which was an area of heavy Norman and Breton settlement after the Conquest. This suggests that the personal name may be of Continental (Norman) origin, but it is also possible that it swallowed up an unattested Old English cognate, Eoforheard.
My ancestors named sometimes Everitt sometimes Everett came from Ousden Suffolk UK.
My line is Richard Everitt 1792+1864, James Everitt 1828+1900, Joseph Everitt 1863+1947 (the first of our family in France), Marcel Everitt 1924+1996 my father.
