Eberhard is in Origin.

Eberhard is a Germanic masculine name from Old High German eber "boar" + hart "hardy, brave," conveying "brave/strong as a boar." It appears in medieval Latin as Eberhardus and spread widely in the Frankish world. Related forms include German Eberhardt and Eberhart; Low German/Dutch Everhard and Everhardt; French Evrard; English Everard (with Everett developing later from the surname); Italian and Spanish Everardo; and Dutch short form Evert. Traditional diminutives include Ebbo and Ebi.

Long used among nobles and churchmen, the name is found with Eberhard of Friuli (9th century), Saint Eberhard, Archbishop of Salzburg (d. 1164), and Eberhard I "im Bart," Duke of Wurttemberg (15th century), whose foundation endures in Eberhard Karls University of Tuebingen. Today Eberhard feels vintage yet dignified in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, with most visibility preserved in surnames Eberhard/Eberhardt.
