Beyer is mostly a German family name, occurring most commonly in German-speaking countries. It can be either habitational (derived from Bayer, which is the male German language demonym for Bavaria) or occupational (derived from the archaic German verb beiern, "to ring (a bell)", thus referring to individuals tasked with ringing church bells). Variants of the surname include Beier, Bayer and Baier.
