Of particular interest is the Pavier Chateau in central France with its Pavier creast which is very similiar to a Paver crest in Micklefield, West York. FAMILY NAME The name Paver, Paviour, Pavor etc. is of two-fold origin. It was an occupation 'the paviour', a person who lays pavement. The status and skill meant they were masters of a craft. The London Paviours were ultimately organized under the Warden of the craft. The name was also that of a location, namely from Pavie, in France. Another source, from England, states that the name came from the Latin word, pavire, which means to ram down. Road builders in Roman times were pavires. From Guy Etchells site at http://freespace.virgin.net/guy.etchells The earliest records of the name were: writer Bernard of Pavia who had a religious book published in 1190; daughter of John Paver, Jane, who was born about 1294 in Braithwell, York; Peter the Pavier made and painted the pavement at St. Peter's Chapel, New Westminster in 1308; Gerard le Pavier (1277-1307); Tristam Pavier from County Somerset, who registered at Oxford in 1621; Sarah Paviour married Marlion Rithe in London in 1648; and William Paveer who married Frances Tealor in London in 1669. Around the 12th century, hereditary surnames began to become fixed and, over the years, have slowly changed and developed. Those of noble birth created the coat of arms, which served as identification in battle and in tournaments.
