The vast movement of people that followed the Norman Conquest of England of 1066 brought the Brewer family name to the British Isles. They lived in Devon. The name comes from the Norman area of Brovera or Brueria, now Breviare, near Caen, in Normandy. In its more obvious Old English derivation, the name indicates the bearer is a professional brewer of beers or ales, and stems from the root breowan, of the same meaning.

A multitude of spelling variations characterize Norman surnames. Many variations occurred because Old and Middle English lacked any definite spelling rules. The introduction of Norman French to England also had a pronounced effect, as did the court languages of Latin and French. Therefore, one person was often referred to by several different spellings in a single lifetime. The various spellings include Brewer, Bruer, Bruyere, Brewyer, Breuer, Brower and others.First found in Devon where they held a family seat from early times after the Norman Conquest in 1066.
