The surname Chevers is of Irish origin and is a variant spelling of the surname Cheevers. This surname has a rich history, being traced back to the Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century. The original Norman form of this name was De Ciévres, named after an area in the northwest of Paris, France.
When the Normans invaded Ireland, they brought their names and language with them, and over time, their names were Gaelicised. De Ciévres became Mac Séafraidh and later, Cheevers or Chevers. The name translates as Son of Geoffrey", Geoffrey being a common Norman first name.
The Chevers family first settled in County Meath, where they owned substantial lands. Over the centuries, they spread to other parts of Ireland, especially to Galway, where they became one of the Tribes of Galway, a group of merchant families who dominated the political, commercial, and social life of the city from the 13th to 19th centuries.
Despite centuries of British rule and attempts to suppress Irish culture, the Chevers surname has survived, reminding us of a time when Ireland was a vibrant melting pot of cultures and peoples.
