Weever Surname Meaning & Coat of Arms

The spelling Weever grew out of Weaver, an English surname with a long paper trail. Surname dictionaries give the meaning as “Weaver of cloth, or dweller by the Weaver river”.

A variant of Weaver

Weever writes “e” in place of the “a” found in Weaver, a common scribal difference. Spellings drifted because names were written down by ear in parish books, tax rolls and passenger lists. Related forms: Webber and Weber.

Arms associated with the name

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Weever, so the heraldry linked to Weaver is a starting point, not an automatic right.
