Devereux
Devereux is a Norman surname. Derived form of ''D'Evreux'' / ''Devreux'', meaning ''d'Évreux'' ("from Évreux", a town in Normandy, France), the surname is found frequently in Ireland, Wales and England and to a lesser extent elsewhere in the English-speaking world. Saint Devereux Church in Hereford, United Kingdom is also named ''Saint Dubricius'' and is dedicated to the 6th century clergyman Saint Dubricius from Hereford, suggesting that the name is a Norman French rendering of ''Dubricius'' or the saint's Welsh name ''Dyfrig''. In Ireland, the name is associated with Wexford, where the Cambro-Normans first invaded from Pembrokeshire, Wales in 1170. Anglo-Norman develops regularly a svarabakhti vowel /e/ between /v/ and /r/, such as in ''overi'' (French ''ouvrit'' "opened"), or ''livere'' (French ''livre'' "book"). Dubricius is called ''Dubrice'' in French and Dyfrig would have given ''*Difry'' / ''*Dufry'' in French and ''*Difery'' / ''*Dufery'' in Anglo-Norman, and ''St. Dev ...
