Devereux
Devereux is a Norman surname found frequently in Ireland, Wales, England and around the English-speaking world. The name may derive as a Norman French rendering of the Welsh name "''Dyfrig''" or "''Dubricius''". This name would have been familiar to the Norman and Breton elites via Saint Dubricius, an important 6th century clergyman who ordained Samson of Dol. The parish of St. Devereux ( Archenfield) still bares this Norman version of the name. In Ireland, the name is associated with Wexford, where the Cambro-Normans first invaded from Pembrokeshire, Wales in 1170. Devereux is more probably the Anglo-Norman form of D'Evreux / Devreux, meaning "d'Évreux" or "from Évreux", a town in Normandy, France. Anglo-Norman develops regularly a svarabakhti vowel /e/ between /v/ and /r/ such as in AN ''overi'' / F ''ouvrit'' "opened", AN ''livere'' / F ''livre'' "book", etc. Dubricius is called ''Dubrice'' in French and Dyfrig would have given ''*Difry'' / ''*Dufry'' in French and ...
