Sivyer Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
(English) 1 Sieve-Maker.
(occasionally) 2 (Grain-) Sifter [Middle English siviere, etc.; from Middle English sive, O.E sife, a sieve] Ralph le Siviere.—Hundred Rolls
For Saviour. This appears to be a branch of the Sires de St. Sauveur, Viscounts of Constantine, of which other branches remain in England under the name of Constantine. In 920 Richard Sire de St. Sauveur le Viconte gave to Nigel his son the lordship of Nehou, the castle of which belonged for above a century to the barony of St. Sauveur (De Gerville, Anc. Chateaux). Nigel was made hereditary Viscount of the Cotentin 938. In 1047 Nigel de St. Saveur revolted, and was defeated at the battle of Val des Dunes, when he lost his estates. He afterwards recovered a part of them, but the Viscounty passed to the Tessons. In 1066 Nigel was at the battle of Hastings (Wace, ii. 231). In England we find Roger de S. Sauveur (Salvatore) witnessing the foundation charter of Binham Priory, Essex, by Geoffry de Valognes t. Henry I. (Mon. i. 344.).
