Meaning and background
The story behind Harvie
Harvie is a documented spelling variant of Harvey rather than a distinct word with an independent translation. That links it to the same older Breton personal-name history, although individual family and naming traditions can still differ. The '-ie' ending gives a different visual impression without changing the usual two-syllable sound. It should not be assigned a newly invented meaning merely because its spelling is less common.
