Herve Origin and Meaning

The name Herve is a boy's name.

Hervé is a masculine name of French origin derived from Breton elements meaning 'battle worthy' or 'worthy of battle.' This name has deep historical roots in Brittany, a region in northwestern France with Celtic heritage. Hervé has been used since medieval times and was popularized by Saint Hervé, a 6th-century Breton monk and miracle worker who was blind from birth. In France, the name enjoys moderate usage and maintains its traditional appeal. The accent on the final 'e' indicates the French pronunciation with emphasis on the second syllable. Outside of French-speaking regions, Hervé remains relatively uncommon, giving it an air of sophistication and continental charm. The name combines strength in its meaning with an elegant, refined sound characteristic of French masculine names.
