The Liverpool Echo did a story today on the meaning of the place name in Liverpool this was the origin of Everton, dont shoot the messenger
Everton comes from a word meaning either “pig enclosure” or “Eofor’s enclosure”, from the Old English word “eofor” for a domestic pig or the first name “Eofor”.
It was once called “Euretone”, but had become “Evretona” by 1094.
The area was known for cattle-grazing and the farmland was handed between various elites before it was declared an independent area in the 17th century and the land was gradually sold off to local people. |  |

Interesting stuff, to be fair Everton kept the ‘pig enclosure’ in their first proper ground but then left Anfield in 1892. Liverpool, ever the traditionalists, maintained this, called it the Kop and have had pigs going there ever since.
