Bevege (surname)

Meaning/Origin
Shortened version of BEVERIDGE of Suffolk England (variants Beuerage 1235, Beverage 1292, Bevereche 1303, Beverich 1327, Beuerich 1327, Berych 1504, Beverych 1534) and Norwich (Beverege 1404, Beveryche 1410, Beverich 1419, Beveridge 18th century).

Form BEVEGE first used by Jeremiah Bevege of Colgate of Norwich, later of Brighton Sussex and is the form used since then by his descendents. Jeremiah was the younger son whose elder brother inherited the family estate and was known as "Squire" Beveridge. Jeremiah learned the coach-building trade in Norwich and moved to moved to Brighton Sussex, where his first son George was born in November 1811 and Christened as George BEVEGE. Jeremiah's second son James also used this variant which has been maintained by their descendents to the present. However various mispellings occur in official records and publications, mostly as Bevage. (for history of BEVEGE and Beveridge, see "The Story of the Beveridge Families of England and Scotland" by Sidney A Beveridge, Mclaren & Co Melbourne 1923.)
