For someone who lived ‘(at the place) where oxen are reared’ (Old French bouverie), the term has historical significance.

This phrase was well used in Middle English minor place-names.

It reflects the agricultural practices and the landscape of the time.

However, it has apparently not become a word of the language.

This shows how certain terms can fall out of common usage despite their historical relevance.
