BEAVER name origin?

There is also a line of German Beavers who come from the Rhineland, near Trier: Kell, Saarburg, Perl, etc. The name in Germany was spelled Biwer, Biver, Biewer, and Biever, and all of these variants are found in the US today, plus the Anglicized Beaver and Bever spellings. One legend is that the clan orginated in the village of Biwer in Luxembourg.Most immigrants from this line settled in Wisconsin.
