Ever comes from the Old English æfre, meaning "always" or "eternal." Used as a given name only since the 2000s, part of the broader trend of modern English word-names.
Today Ever sits in the U.S. top 800 and is rising.
Ever does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Ever reduce to 5, The Seeker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
