This is what www.ancestry.com had to say about the name.
Beaver Name Meaning and History
English (of Norman origin): habitational name from any of several places in France called Beauvoir, for example in Manche, Somme, and Seine-Maritime, or from Belvoir in Leicestershire. All of these are named with Old French beu, bel ‘fair’, ‘lovely’ + ve?r, voir ‘to see’, i.e. a place with a fine view.
English: nickname from Middle English bevere, Old English beofor ‘beaver’, possibly referring to a hard worker, or from some other fancied resemblance to the animal. The existence of patronymic forms such as Beaverson suggest that this may also have been a personal name.
Probably a translation of cognates of 2 in other languages, in particular Dutch Bever and German Bieber.
Possibly a variant of Welsh Bevan.

Beavers Name Meaning and History
English: origin uncertain. Possibly it is a variant of Welsh Bevans.
Hope this helps.

AmsterDAM! Idk, just though I'd say something painfully corny.

In my case, a great-great-great grandfather, an Alan Beavers, was from Wales. Now, I'm going to tell you what all the regulars on Yahoo! Genealogy will tell you: A last name alone cannot divulge ethnicity because 1) In the United States, at least, lots of immigrants met an immigration official at Ellis Island, or its equivalent, who altered their surnames; 2) Lots of surnames fit lots of nationalities; for example, just think of all the variations of Smith.

Beavers : English: origin uncertain. Possibly it is a variant of Welsh "Bevans".
