Name Meaning
Americanized form of German Biebighausen: habitational name from Biebighausen in Hesse, Germany. The surname Biebighausen is apparently not found in Germany. Compare Peavyhouse and Peevyhouse .
History: The progenitor of the Pevehouses was Johannes Georg Biebighausen, born in the village of Elsoff in Rhineland-Palatinate, who arrived in PA in 1738. The nearby Biebighausen, now part of the town of Hatzfeld, lies just across the border in Hesse.
