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

Does not necessarily imply a menial attendant, for Domesday shews us several tenants-in-chief who are styled ' Servientes Regis.' In the O. Test, we find an influential person, the opponent of Nehemiah, styled Tobiah 'the Servant,' and in the same way, during the middle ages, men of large landed estates are frequently styled "servants" of particular noblemen. H.R. Serviens.
