Where did the Scottish Bayer family come from? What is the Scottish Bayer family crest and coat of arms? When did the Bayer family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Bayer family history?
The surname Bayer was first used by the descendants of a Boernician family of ancient Scotland. They lived in or near the place named Byers in Scotland. The place-name, Byers, derives from the Old English word byre, which means cattle shed. Thus, Byers is of two derivations, topographical and habitational. Topographic surnames could be given to a person who lived beside any physical feature, such as a hill, stream, church or type of tree. Habitation names form the other broad category of surnames that were derived from place-names. They were derived from pre-existing names for towns, villages, parishes, or farmsteads. Other local names are derived from the names of houses, manors, estates, regions, and entire counties.
