Beviss Origin and Meaning

The name Beviss is a boy's name.

Beviss is an uncommon masculine name with Old English and French origins. Likely derived from the medieval name Bevis or Beavis, it may have originated from the Old French 'beau vis' meaning 'handsome face' or possibly from the Old English 'beo-wulf' meaning 'bee-wolf' (a poetic term for bear). The name appears in medieval literature, notably in the romance 'Sir Bevis of Hampton.' Primarily found as a surname in modern times, Beviss as a first name remains exceptionally rare. Its distinctive sound and historical connections make it an unusual choice with a certain aristocratic quality. The name carries echoes of medieval chivalry and might appeal to parents seeking a truly unique name with historical depth.
