Evernden Surname Meaning

English: habitational name from a lost and unidentified place called Everenden apparently in Kent.

There does not seem to be any connection with Great Everden Farm in Alkham (Kent) which is recorded as Evering in 1242.

The development of the placename from Evering to Everden seems to be very recent post-dating the 1840 Tithe Award.

Compare Everenden.
