Bedyre is in Origin.

Bedyre is an Anglicized variant of the Arthurian name Bedivere, itself adapted from Welsh Bedwyr. Bedwyr appears in early Welsh literature, notably Culhwch ac Olwen (c. 1100), as a companion of Arthur renowned for valor and skill; in later Latin and French romances he becomes Bedivere/Bédivère, the knight who returns Excalibur to the Lady of the Lake. Used as a given name, Bedyre is extremely rare; related forms saw sporadic revival during Victorian interest in Arthuriana.

Variants include Welsh Bedwyr, English Bedivere and Bedevere, and French Bédivère. The etymology of Bedwyr is uncertain; proposals link it to Welsh bedw “birch” or to an agentive -wr/-wyr meaning “man,” but there is no consensus. Accordingly, Bedyre is often taken to carry legendary associations of loyalty, valor, and duty rather than a fixed lexical meaning.
