Where does the name Harvey come from?

The English and Scottish given name Harvey originally derives from the Breton names Huiarnuiu and Haarnbiu. It was the name of a 6th-century Breton hermit who is also the patron saint of the blind. Settlers from Brittany introduced the name to England after the Norman Conquest. It became rare during the later Middle Ages but has seen a revival since the 19th century.
