Hello Judith,
My family is Everest descended from Devereux and Anglicised, my information (my aunt has traced the genealogy back to 1066)is that the Devereux/Deveraux were from Evres in N. France, were poets and musicians and came over with the Norman invasion. The family motto can be translated "I pray for leisure to the gods". There is also a crest, I don't know the technical terms to describe it accurately, but it involves blue and white, white flowers and I think swans (?).
