User-submitted Reference

It is a hereditary surname, that developed out of the traditional German eke-names, that identified people by naming them after a physical characteristic or other identifiable trait. It is a name for a beautiful person, derived from the Old French words beu or bel, which mean 'fair' or 'lovely', and veir or voir, which mean 'to see'. In the 8th and 9th centuries, the French language was commonly spoken in the German states. While the court of Charlemagne (742-814) was Latin-speaking, Frankish dialects of Old German and Old French were still quite commonly used.
