[Surname] Re: my last name
in reply to a message by Leah
Driever can be either German or Dutch. If German, it's probably a variant of Driewer/Driver which means 'cattle driver' according to one source though the placename Driever you mention could also be a prossibility. If Dutch, it's a variant of Drijver which also means 'cattle driver'.

Thanks. Kind of ironic my Driever side has always been farmers.
