Liversage Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from a geographical locality. 'of Liversedge,' a township in the parish of Birstall, nine miles from Leeds. But there seems to have been a place of this name also in the West country.
Ralph Leversedge, Somerset, 1583-4: Register of the University of Oxford.
Thomas Leversage, Cheshire, 1607: ibid.
Roger Liversage, of Woolston, 1582: Wills'at Chester (1545-1620).
William Liversage, of Wheelock, 1613: ibid.
1573. Baptised — John Jeffreys, alias Leversedg: Reg. Stourton, Wiltshire.
1690. Married — John Trimboy and Elizabeth Leversage: ibid.
(English) belonging to Liversedge (Yorks), the Domesday Livre- sec(h, later Leversege, Liversege.
[The available forms do not help much towards an exact fixation of the etymology: the name can hardly be a combination of the two water-plant names liver or lever (v. under Livermere) and sedge— Old English secg; and the forms are against the assumption (as to the second element) of a derivation from Old English síc, a water-course. If the second element is edge—O.E. ecg—the first may be the Anglo-Saxon pers. name Léofhere. As to the physiography of Liversedge, the township is situated ‘on the declivities of a valley watered by a stream’ (National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland]
From Liversedge; a location name in Yorkshire.
