Forebears Note: This definition questionable.

A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames (1896) by Charles Wareing Endell Bardsley

This apparently absurd name may, with great probability, be derived from the German Herr-wacker, "gallant lord," or "noble sir." Domesday, however, shows us a previous tenant in Devon, who rejoiced in the appellation of Eureuuacre.

Forebears Note: This definition questionable.

Patronymica Britannica (1860) by Mark Antony Lower

Perhaps corrupted from Herwig; from Old German er-wig, strong in war; or her-vrig, noble or distinguished warrior. Lower however gives Eureuuacre as the name of a tenant in Devon mentioned in Domesday.

Forebears Note: This definition questionable.
