Beverlie

Beverlie is a modern feminine given name derived from the English surname Beverly. The surname itself originated from a place name, specifically the town of Beverley in East Yorkshire, England. The town's name is thought to come from the Old English words 'beofor' (beaver) and 'leah' (clearing or meadow), thus meaning 'beaver meadow'.

The transition of Beverly from a surname to a given name, particularly for females, gained significant popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, especially in English-speaking countries. The 'Beverlie' spelling is a less common, variant spelling, often chosen for its slightly more distinctive or feminine appearance.
