Etymology of Averite

What does the name Averite mean?

Averite is an ancient Anglo-Saxon surname that came from the Germanic personal name Eberhard. Averite is a patronymic surname, which belongs to the category of hereditary surnames. Many patronymic surnames were formed by adopting the given name of an ancestor of the bearer, while others came from popular religious names, and from the names of secular heroes. The surname Averite comes from the Germanic given name Eberhard, which was composed of the elements eber and hard, which mean wild boar and brave, hardy, or strong. This surname first appeared in England in Wiltshire, where members of this family had lived since before the Norman invasion of 1066.

Migration of the Averite family

For many English families, the political and religious disarray that shrouded England made the far away New World an attractive prospect. On cramped disease-ridden ships, thousands migrated to those British colonies that would eventually become Canada and the United States. Those hardy settlers that survived the journey often went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations in which they landed. Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name Averite or a variant listed above: Clement Everet who settled in Virginia in 1654; John Everet settled in New England in 1654; Andrew Everett settled in Maine in 1630; Christopher Everett settled in Virginia in 1635.
