Ryver is a name of ancient Anglo-Saxon origin and comes from the family once having lived in various locations in England. The origins of this surname can be traced back to France where the name was used to denote someone who was a native of La Riviere. The surname Ryver was later introduced to England by early French settlers and was used to identify the individuals who lived by the river.Sound was what guided spelling in the essentially pre-literate Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Also, before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Therefore, spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Ryver family name include Rivers, Ryvers, River, Ryver and others. First found in Essex where they held a family seat from early times and their first records appeared on the early census rolls taken by the early Kings of Britain to determine the rate of taxation of their subjects.

For political, religious, and economic reasons, thousands of English families boarded ships for Ireland, Canada, the America colonies, and many of smaller tropical colonies in the hope of finding better lives abroad. Although the passage on the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving, those families that survived the trip often went on to make valuable contributions to those new societies to which they arrived. Early immigrants bearing the Ryver surname or a spelling variation of the name include: John Rivers, who settled in Jamaica in 1662; Elizabeth Rivers settled in Virginia in 1726; Joan Rivers settled in Virginia in 1653 with her husband; William Rivers settled in Barbados in 1679 with his servants..
