Where did the English Daver family come from? What is the English Daver family crest and coat of arms? When did the Daver family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Daver family history? The ancestry of the name Daver dates from the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture of Britain. It comes from when the family lived in the French region of Auvers or Auvers-le-Hamon. The name would have appeared there as D'Auvers, meaning "from Auvers."Spelling variations in names were a common occurrence before English spelling was standardized a few hundred years ago. In the Middle Ages, even the literate spelled their names differently as the English language incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other European languages. Many variations of the name Daver have been found, including Davers, Daver, Daves and others. First found in Suffolk where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.

Another 123 words(9 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products. Families began migrating abroad in enormous numbers because of the political and religious discontent in England. Often faced with persecution and starvation in England, the possibilities of the New World attracted many English people. Although the ocean trips took many lives, those who did get to North America were instrumental in building the necessary groundwork for what would become for new powerful nations. Some of the first immigrants to cross the Atlantic and come to North America bore the name Daver, or a variant listed above: Robert Davers with his wife and servants settled in Barbados in 1679; with his two sons Robert Junior; William Daves settled in New England in 1669.
