Where did the English Beveridge family come from? What is the English Beveridge family crest and coat of arms? When did the Beveridge family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Beveridge family history?
The history of the Beveridge family goes back to the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture of Britain. It is derived from the family living on Beverage, an island in the Severn River Estuary. The place name literally means beaver island, which explains the presence of the beaver on the family coat of arms. The surname Beveridge arises from two Old English words: beofer,which means beaver, and ige which means island. While the name Beveridge may have arisen in the southwest of England, it is generally associated with Yorkshire and Scotland.

Until quite recently, the English language has lacked a definite system of spelling rules. Consequently, Anglo-Saxon surnames are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. Changes in Anglo-Saxon names were influenced by the evolution of the English language, as it incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other languages. Although Medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, so it is common to find one person referred to by several different spellings of his surname, even the most literate people varied the spelling of their own names. Variations of the name Beveridge include Beveridge, Belfridge, Belfrage, Beverage, Beveradge, Bevidge, Bevige, Berridge and many more.First found in Yorkshire, where they held a family seat from ancient times, long before the Norman Conquest in 1066.

For those families that arrived safely, modest prosperity was attainable, and many went on to make invaluable contributions to the development of the cultures of the new colonies. Research into the origins of individual families in North America revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name Beveridge or a variant listed above:
