Beveridge Family History
Beveridge Name Meaning
Scottish: probably from Middle English beverage ‘drink’ (Old
French bevrage, from beivre ‘to drink’). The term was
used in particular of a drink bought by a purchaser to seal a bargain,
and the surname may have been acquired as a nickname in this
context. Reaney adduces evidence that suggests that the nickname may
have been bestowed on a man who made a practice of getting free drinks
by entering into bargains which he did not keep.
