[Facts] What does this surname mean?
My son is doing a surname project and we are trying to find the meaning of our surname Devers. I believe it is either English or Irish. Does anyone out there have any information that might be helpful? We would really appreciate it! Thanks! Janet Devers.
P.S. My son's name is Malcolm and his grandfather's name is Theodore William Devers. We are caucasion.

There is a surname board here, which may better help you:

I put in Devers into the search engine there and didn't get an on-the-spot answer, however, your surname may derive from the surname DeVries.

Perhaps you could also search Deever. Which just might be Irish ...
