Help[Facts] Re: Meaning, origin and pronunciation of the surname Eyre?
in reply to a message by Lucille
"Eyre" as in the novel "Jane Eyre" is pronounced "air". One meaning of "eyre" (in archaic English) is to wander or travel a circuit. Other interesting origin possibilities for Jane Eyre's name can be found at http://www.marquette.edu/english/hoeveler/neyrattor.html.
