of
Breton origin, from the name of the 6th-century Breton
Saint Hervé. The common latinization of the name is Herveus (also ''Haerveus''), an early (8th-century) latinization was ''
Charivius''. Anglicized forms are
Harvey and Hervey.
Its Old Breton form was ''Huiarnviu'' (cf. Old Welsh ''Haarnbiu'' ), composed of the elements ''hoiarn'' ("iron", modern Breton ''houarn'', c.f. Welsh ''haearn'') and ''viu'' ("bright", "blazing", modern Breton ''bev''). Its
common Celtic form would have been ''*isarno-biuos'' or ''*-ue(s)uos''.
Recorded Middle Breton forms of the name include ''Ehuarn, Ehouarn, Houarn''.
The name of the 6th-century saint is recorded in numerous variants, including forms such as:
''Houarniault'', ''Houarneau''; as the name of a legendary Breton bard, the name occurs in varians such as ''Hyvarnion, Huaruoé, Hoarvian''.
