I am a young African American Male. My Family heritage is mainly from the Bahamas. Any help to find the meaning of my name would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Jhevasse Mitchell

Hi Jhevasse

I can't tell you the meaning of your name (it really is unusual!), but I doubt it has anything to do with Gervais - people don't speak French on the Bahamas...
I rather think it's a Hebrew / Biblical name, it sounds like the word YAHWEH (God) is part of it!

Hope this helps,
Lulu
p.s: have a look at my homepage http://www.geocities.com/lulu_swizz/Names.html - I could need your help too!

Your name sounds to me like a local dialect form of the French name Gervais . Click on the blue name to find out its etymology and meaning.

Sorry, didn't realize that the website says "meaning unknown" for that name. While it's true that the meaning of that name has been lost in history, some scholars have suggested that the name might mean "spearman", due to the "Ger-" prefix which means "spear" in German .
