Bevis is a name for boys borrowed from French. A potential place name, it’s said to originate from the village of Beauvais in Oise, France, famous for its king-coveted tapestries. While primarily taken from the French term fiz for “son,” it may also translate to “handsome,” thanks to its ties to the Old French phrases bel and beu.
