SHAVE
Shave is a topographical surname which was given to a person who resided near a physical feature such as a hill, stream, church, or type of tree. The Anglo-Saxon name Shave comes from the family having resided near a small wood or shaw. The surname Shave is believed to be derived from the Old English word sceaga, which means dweller by the wood. It was first found in Berkshire, where they were established in the 12th century. Shave in Berkshire is recorded as "Essages" in the Domesday Book of 1086, that in Lancashire as "Shaghe" in 1555, and the place in Wiltshire as "schaga" in the 1167 Pipe Rolls of the county. The development of the surname includes Richard de la Schawe (1275, Worcestershire), John ate Shaw (1295, Essex), and William Bithe Shaghe (1333, Somerset), and the modern forms of the name range from Shaw(e), Shay and Shay(e)s, and Shafe. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Simon de Schage, which was dated 1191, in the Berkshire Pipe Rolls, during the reign of King Richard I. The Shave motto is: vincit qui patitur (he conquers who endures).
