Ewart is English, Scottish in Origin.

Ewart is an English and Scottish masculine name that began as a surname. Its roots are debated: many trace it to the Norman French form of the Germanic Everard/Evrard (from eber “boar” + hard “brave, hardy,” yielding the sense “brave as a boar”), while others connect it to the Northumbrian place-name Ewart in Northumberland, likely from Old English ēa “river” + worth “enclosure, farm,” meaning “river enclosure.” Both routes fed into medieval surname use.

As a given name, Ewart emerged in the 19th century with the British fashion for surname-forenames and saw a notable boost through the fame of statesman William Ewart Gladstone, after whom many boys were named. Usage peaked in the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, then declined, but it remains familiar in Britain and former Commonwealth countries. Variants and cognates include Ewert, Evert, Everard, and Eberhard; Everett is a related but distinct development.
