The origins of the Anglo-Saxon name Culver come from its first bearer, who was a person bearing some fancied resemblance to a dove, such as mildness of temper. The surname Culver is derived from the Old English word culfre, which in turn came from the Late Latin word columbula; this is a derivative of columba, which means dove. The nickname culfre was also used as a term of endearment.
