French and Walloon (Lefèvre): occupational name for a blacksmith or ironworker, Old French fevre, with fused masculine definite article le. One of the most common surnames in France from an early date, coined before the French word for smith, fèvre (from Latin faber ‘maker’), was replaced by forgeron. This surname was also brought to England (in the 16th century by Protestant Walloons and later reinforced by Huguenots from France). It is also established in the Flemish part of Belgium and in Haiti. See also Lefebvre , compare Faver , Lafaver , Lafever , Lefever , and Leffew .
History: This surname is listed (in the form Le Fèvre) in the (US) National Huguenot Society's register of qualified Huguenot ancestors and also in the similar register of the Huguenot Society of America (in the form Le Fevre).
