Avender is a name for a person who kept a tavern or public house.It is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, Anglo-Norman surnames like Avender are characterized by many spelling variations. Scribes and monks in the Middle Ages spelled names they sounded, so it is common to find several variations that refer to a single person. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages such as Norman French and Latin, even literate people regularly changed the spelling of their names. The variations of the name Avender include Taverner, Tabenor, Tabiner, Tavernor, Taviner, Tavenor and many more. First found in Essex where they held a family seat from early times.

Faced with the chaos present in England at that time, many English families looked towards the open frontiers of the New World with its opportunities to escape oppression and starvation. People migrated to North America, as well as Australia and Ireland in droves, paying exorbitant rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships. Many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, but those who did see the shores of North America were welcomed with great opportunity.
