Conyers is English in Origin.

Conyers is an English surname-turned-given name of Norman French toponymic origin. It derives from the family name ‘de Conyers,’ referring to settlers from Coignières in Île‑de‑France, brought to England after the Norman Conquest. The place-name traces to Old French coignier/coign, linked either to the quince tree or to a corner/wedge, so the sense is “from Coignières,” often glossed as “place of quince trees.” Pronounced KON-yers, it feels tailored yet aristocratic.

As a forename, Conyers appears in Britain from the late medieval period within noble northern families - most famously the Barons Conyers of Hornby - and later as a stylish surname-first name among gentry and scholars (e.g., Conyers Clifford; Conyers Middleton). Rare today, it reads distinguished and gender‑neutral in contemporary use. Variants and related forms include Conyer, Coniers, Coneyers, and the title-form Baron Conyers. Nicknames may be Con, Conn, or Yers.
