Bevis is a name for boys borrowed from French. A potential place name, it’s said to originate from the village of Beauvais in Oise, France, famous for its king-coveted tapestries. While primarily taken from the French term fiz for “son,” it may also translate to “handsome,” thanks to its ties to the Old French phrases bel and beu. What better name to adorn your little darling with than beautiful Bevis?
