Sir Roger de Coverleyn.

Brit.

/sə ˌrɒdʒə də ˈkʌvəli/,

/sə ˌrɒdʒə də ˈkʌvl̩i/, U.S.

/sə(r) ˌrɑdʒər də ˈkəvərli/

Forms:

α. 1600s Roger of Coverly, 1700s Roger of Coverlay, 1700s Roger of Coverley.

β. 1800s Sir Roger de Coverly, 1800s– Sir Roger de Coverley.

γ. 1800s– Roger de Coverley.

δ. 1800s– Sir Roger.

Origin: From a proper name. Etymons: proper name Roger of Coverley; proper name Sir Roger de Coverley.

Etymology: Originally (in α. forms) < the name of a certain Roger of Coverley (also Coverlay, Coverly), about whom nothing definite is known. In later use (in β. forms) < Sir Roger de Coverley (in early use also spelt Sir Roger de Coverly), the name of a lovable but somewhat ridiculous English country squire, a character in a series of short stories by J. Addison published in the journal Spectator in 1711. It seems more likely that Addison's fictional character was modelled on a historical person called Roger of Coverley (with alteration of of in his surname to de de prep., apparently for the purpose of portraying him as a descendant of a noble family) than that he was named after the dance. However, attempts to identify a historical Roger of Coverley have not been successful.According to a manuscript history of the Calverley family of Calverley, Yorkshire, written in 1717 by Ralph Thoresby, Roger's surname is identical with the name of the village of Calverley (see further W. Calverley Trevelyan in Notes & Queries 1st ser. 1 (1850) 368–9). This statement is perhaps supported by the occurrence of ‘O brave Roger a Cauverly’ as the refrain of a song in Pills to Purge Melancholy (1709) IV. 191. In γ. and δ. forms shortened < β. forms.

An English country dance; the tune for this.
