Haver Surname HistoryThe name Haver is of Anglo-Saxon origin. It was name for a person associated with a male goat, perhaps through ownership of such an animal or a perceived physical or temperamental resemblance to that animal. The surname Haver is derived from the Old English word hæfer, which means he-goat. 1 2 Early Origins of the Haver familyThe surname Haver was first found in Norfolk where Hugh, Simon Hauer was the first mention of the family in the Pipe Rolls of 1199 and later in the Pipe Rolls of Essex in 1230. 1 From these earliest records, we must move to the north in Scotland to find later information.
