Name Meaning

Some characteristic forenames: German Kurt, Otto, Erhard, Hans, Heinz, Aloys, Bodo, Erna, Ernst, Frieda, Friedhelm, Hanni.

English (West Country): habitational name from any of the forty or so places in southwestern England called Beer(e) or Bear(e). Most of these derive their names from the West Saxon dative case, beara, of Old English bearu ‘grove, wood’ (the standard Old English dative bearwe being preserved in Barrow ). In some cases the surname may be topographic in origin, from atte beare ‘at the grove’. Some may be from Middle English bere ‘woodland swine-pasture’ (Old English bǣr). Compare Bear 1.

English: variant of Bear 2 ‘bear’.
