Etymologically, the entry records: Borrowed from Dutch Evers.

For readers arriving here from a spelling check, the authoritative guidance is: the correct English form is Evers, spelled E-V-E-R-S, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
