Elvery Surname Definition:
Reaney states that Elvery, with its synonyms Alfrey, Affray etc., is derived from one of the old English christian names beginning with Æ, e.g. Ælfreth or Ælfrith, which can be accepted where the surname is English. I have not found any early Irish reference to the name Elvery unless Albrey is a mediaeval form of it-the Justiciary Rolls for 1307 mention a Robert Albrey, of Kells, Co.

Elvery Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
Reaney states that Elvery, with its synonyms Alfrey, Affray etc., is derived from one of the old English christian names beginning with Æ, e.g. Ælfreth or Ælfrith, which can be accepted where the surname is English. I have not found any early Irish reference to the name Elvery unless Albrey is a mediaeval form of it-the Justiciary Rolls for 1307 mention a Robert Albrey, of Kells, Co. Kilkenny and in 1311 a Thomas Albrey, a Co. Carlow juror, but there is on record the will of Beatrix Alfrey of Dublin, 1649, which at once recalls Beatrice Elvery (Lady Glenavy) the well-known artist of our own time.
In the days when origins were often assigned to suit the taste of the enquirer the Spanish Alvarez and the Irish MacAlivery might both have been suggested, but I fear we cannot accept either of these without definite evidence. Elverstown in Co. Kildare has no connexion with Elvery: it is an obsolete form of Aylwardstown.
Probably synonymous with Alfrey (Old-English Aelfrith). For other possible origins see SIF 64
