Beverley: translation

English: transferred use of the surname, which comes from a place in Humberside named in Old English with the elements beofor beaver + lēac stream. The spelling Beverly is apparently used exclusively for girls, and is the usual form of the female name in America. It is not clear why it should have become a comparatively popular female name. In America, association with Beverly Hills in Los Angeles, the district where many film stars live, may have been an influencing factor.
