The name is derived from the given name Gervase, which was introduced to Ireland by the Anglo-Normans during the 12th century. The name Gervase itself has Latin origins, derived from Gervasius, meaning spear-servant or spearman. Over time, the pronunciation and spelling of the name evolved, leading to variations such as Jervis and Jarvis.
