Gervase
Gervais (; French pronunciation: [ʒeʀˈve]), or Gervaise, is an English and French name of Old French origin. The name in English was inherited via Norman, and is ultimately derived from the Proto-Germanic Gervas, which is composed of the elements gaiʀ ("spear") and an unknown second element, possibly a borrowing from the Celtic -wass ("servant, vassal"). The name Jarvis is derived from Gervais(e), and it is latinized as Gervasius. The popularity of the name owes to Saint Gervasius (French: Saint Gervais), martyred alongside Protasius in Milan.
