Evershot is a village and civil parish in the county of Dorset in southwest England, situated in the West Dorset administrative district approximately south of Yeovil in Somerset. It is the second highest village in the county at above sea-level. Evershot parish encompasses part of the nearby hamlet of Holywell, east of Evershot village. Dorset County Council's latest (2013) estimate of the parish population is 210. The village has connections with the writer Thomas Hardy.
== Toponymy ==
There are several theories on the origins of the name Evershot. One is that it derives from 'Eafor’s Holt',〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Dorset For You )〕 'eafor' meaning wild boar and 'holt' meaning wood. A similar theory places the origin at 'eafor sceat,' meaning 'wild boar thicket.' This fits in with the history of the village, but does not account for other names the village has had in the past. In 1202, the village was referred to as 'Teversict,' and in 1268 'Theuershet.' This likely refers to the colour of the soil - the Old English word 'teofor' meaning red lead.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=OPC Dorset )〕 Another theory is that the name derives from 'Varia', an alternative name for the River Frome, and 'shot', the Saxon word for a brook.〔
