Harvey (name)
Harvey is an English and Scots family and given name derived from the Old Breton language, Breton personal name ''Huiarnviu'' (or ''Aeruiu''), derived from the elements ''hoiarn'', ''huiarn'' (modern Breton ''houarn'') meaning "iron" and ''viu'' (Breton ''bev'') meaning "blazing".Xavier Delamarre, ''Dictionnaire de la langue gauloise : une approche linguistique du vieux celtique continental'', éditions Errance 2003, p. 192. An alternative elemental derivation has been theorized in which origination is from ''haer'' + ''vy'' meaning "battle/carnage worthy". It is related to Old Welsh ''Haarnbiu''. An altogether separate origin in Ireland has been theorized where ''Harvey'' is an anglicization of the Gaelic personal name ''Ó hAirmheadhaigh'', which is itself possibly related to the name of a mythical physician, ''Airmheadh''.
