Harvey

• Hervey

From Haerviu, name of a Breton saint, from Old Breton hoiarn (“iron”) + viu (“blazing”). Cognate to modern Breton Haerviu.

In Ireland, used as an anglicisation of Irish Ó hAirmheadhaigh and Ó hEarchaidh.

The civil parish in New Brunswick is probably named in honour of British colonial administrator John Harvey (1778 - 1852).
