Waverly
Northeast Iowa municipality
Waverly is a place name appearing across the English-speaking world—towns, neighborhoods, streets, and parks from Iowa to Australia.
It also serves as a given name for both sexes, though relatively uncommon.
The name gained literary currency from Walter Scott's 1814 novel *Waverley*, which launched a genre of historical fiction.
