Meaning of the name Redvers (General)
Hi Scarlet and welcome to this friendly forum, thanks for bringing the sunshine !
just to add that in case you hadn't realised the forum is searchable and is a great source of reference material in itself. There have been quite a few prior threads relating to this surprisingly common "rare" surname, if you get my meaning.
This one has a few more suggestions, it's been recorded way back in Norman times, I hope it's of interest.
