Jervey Origin and Meaning
The name Jervey is a boy's name.
Jervey is an uncommon masculine name with possible origins as a variant spelling of Jarvis or Gervais. These names derive from Germanic elements meaning 'spear' and 'servant,' or possibly from the French name Gervais, which has roots in a Germanic name meaning 'warrior with a spear.' Jervey has historically been rare in usage, often appearing as a surname rather than a first name. In the United States, it may have regional significance in areas like South Carolina, where it appears in place names. The name has never ranked among popular baby names in official records, maintaining its distinctive and unusual status. Its unique spelling gives it a distinguished quality while preserving connections to more traditional naming heritage.
