This name is of Anglo - Celtic orgin and is popular throughout England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. It is found in many mediaeval manuscripts in these islands.
The meaning “ of Beverege” is what is referred to as a locational name. Beverage is the name of an island in the Severn river estuary, referred to by Florence of Worcester as a retreat for the Danes during the revolt by the English. The name derives from an old English name, meaning “Beaver Island”. Specifically, the surname Beveridge comes from two Old English words, “beofer” meaning beaver and “ige” which means island. This is amply displayed in their Coat of Arms which shows two beavers standing by the sea.
First found in Yorkshire, where the family held a family seat from ancient times-- prior to the Norman Conquest of 1066 . Other examples of this surname are Hugh Beverach, county Cambridgeshire, who was recorded in the “Hundred Rolls”, in England in the year 1273. David Beverage was a cup bearer to James V in 1534. A Francis Beveredge of county Derby was registered in the University of Oxford, in the year 1579. In Scotland the earliest mention of the name was in 1302 when Walter Beverage is named as juror on an inquest at Saint Andrews, and a Henry Beveragh was a witness in Paisley, in the year 1504. The name is found in small numbers in Ireland being introduced there from England and Scotland centuries ago.
The family remained prominent and acquired the estate of Brucefield in Fife. James Beveridge was the collector of offshore dues in the Port of Leith in 1821. His son Samuel Beveridge, founded a legal practice which still serves the Port of Leith.
Some of the first settlers of this family name or some where John Beveridge a settler in New England in 1685. Mary Beverdige who settled in Maryland in 1744 and Robert Beveridge who landed in New York in 1823.
In 1985 the Leith law firm petitioned the Lord Lyon, King of Arms for a grant of arms in its own right, and received a version of the two beavers standing on the sea, forever linking the firm symbolically with the family of its founder.
Some spelling variations & Septs:
