The lavery Surname
lavery Name Meaning and History
Irish (chiefly northern Ireland): reduced Anglicized form of Gaelic
Ó Labhradha ‘descendant of Labhraidh’, a byname
meaning ‘spokesman’. Three branches of the sept are sometimes
distinguished as Baun-Lavery (from bán ‘white’),
Roe-Lavery (from rua ‘red’) and Trin-Lavery (from
tréan ‘strong’). Some of this last group have been
‘translated’ as Armstrong (as if from lámh ‘hand’,
‘arm’).
