Sevin Family Origins

"The Sevin Family were originally French Hugenots and came from Orleans, France. To escape the Catholic persecutions of the early 17th century they fled to Germany. There is a legend that up until this time the name had been Nives, and that it was now written backward and spelled Sevin to escape detection. This is substantiated by the old Sevin crest which bears in the lower portion of an ornamental shield, a cluster of snow flakes. The Latin plural of snow is nives, denoting the origin of the name and its original spelling." --From The History of Erie County, Pennsylvania, by John Elmer Reed, Vol II p. 836 (see sources). This story has no citations, but it does make a great story.
