History & Origin
Elverna belongs to the great El- naming vogue of the early twentieth century, touching a small high around 1922. Its second half, Verna, was itself a modestly popular name, so Elverna reads as an elaboration a family built for a fuller sound.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its peak, and had thinned out by the nineteen-fifties. A girl named Elverna then would be past a hundred today, placing it squarely in the great-grandmother range. It remains firmly dated.
