Meaning (See https://www.familysearch.org/en/surname): 
VEAZEY:
  • English (Rutland): nickname from Anglo-Norman French enveisé ‘playful’ (Old French envoisié), Latinized as invesiatus (compare medieval Latin invasus ‘possessed by a demon’) and paralleled by lascivus ‘wanton’. The first syllable was lost early, resulting in numerous dialectal and orthographic variants; only Lenfestey preserves the fuller form, with an intrusive medial -t-. There has also been some confusion with Vessey.
  • History: John Veazey came from England to MD in the late 17th century. Thomas Ward Veazey (born 1774) was a MD legislator and planter.​
