Everett, a surname-turned-given-name, comes from the Old German name Eberhard, which is derived from the Old German elements ebur, meaning "wild boar," and hart, meaning "hard," "firm" and "brave." It was a top-100 boy's name in the United States every year between 1900 and 1923 (except 1911) before slowly fading outside of the top-650 by the end of the century. It returned to the top-100 in 2018 and doesn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. If you like the name but are having a girl, use it as a middle name like "This Is Us" star Mandy Moore did with her daughter Louise Everett, born in 2024.
