Evrard is Germanic in Origin.

Evrard is the French and Walloon form of a pan-Germanic name built from ebur/eber "boar" and hard "brave, hardy," yielding the sense "strong, brave (as a) boar." It corresponds to Old High German Eberhard and medieval Latin Everardus; the English form is Everard, Dutch Evert, German Everhard/Everhart, and Romance adaptations include Everardo/Eberardo. Related surnames include Evrard, Everard, Everhart, and Everett (from the given name).

Documented in Carolingian and later Frankish charters, the name was borne by nobles, abbots, and crusaders and traveled to England with the Normans, enjoying modest medieval use before waning. In French-speaking Belgium and northern France it long persisted as a family name and remains a rare but serviceable given name today. Parents may appreciate its crisp medieval profile and the emblematic "courage and tenacity" conveyed by the boar element.
