Beverlee is English in Origin.

Beverlee is a modern feminine spelling of Beverly/Beverley, ultimately from the Old English place-name Beverley in Yorkshire. The elements beofor (beaver) + leah (clearing, meadow) yield the meaning “beaver meadow/clearing.” The name passed from place-name to surname in medieval England and later into given-name use.

Adopted as a first name in the English-speaking world in the 19th century, Beverly was initially masculine in the U.S. before shifting decisively female by the 1930s. Beverlee emerged in mid-20th-century North America as an embellished, phonetic form highlighting the -lee ending, and saw modest use in the 1940s-60s. Today it is rare, lending a tailored, vintage flair. Standard variants include Beverly (U.S. dominant) and Beverley (U.K./Commonwealth), with less common spellings Beverlie and Beverlee. Diminutives and short forms include Bev, Bevy, and Lee.
