Peevor Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
Belonging to Peever or Peover (Chesh.), anciently Pevre.
Peover is on the river of the same name; but the river-name is prob. taken from the village-name. The second element can hardly be the Old English ófer, a river-bank, as the form of the name with -over is late. The name has the appearance of having lost a local suffix; and it may, in fact, be the Peverwich of a Latin charter of King Eadgar (a.d. 966: ‘Cart. Sax.’ No. 1175), where Pever is prob. a pers. name allied to the Ger. Pfeifer = Piper [from O.H.Ger. pfifa, an early borrowing from Latin pipa, a pipe (Latin pipare, to pipe); whence also Ital. píva, a pipe, and prob. the Norman name, Pever-el] John de Pevre.—Chesh. Chmbrlns.' Accts., A.D. 1303-4.
John Pever.—Lanc. Fines, A.D. 1445.
