Dewer Vad efternamn betyder
see Dewar. perhaps from an unrecorded Middle English *dewer ‘dweller at the damp or wet place’ (Middle English *dewe Old English *dīewe + -er). This is a topographic surname of a type that is characteristic of Surrey Sussex and Kent. It is equivalent to atte Dewe ‘at the dewe’ attested in John and Robert atte Dywe 1327 in Subsidy Rolls (Wivelridge and Hope respectively near Rye Sussex) and which probably survives in Dew Farm in Peasmarsh (Sussex).
