Apollos Rivoire, father of Paul Revere, anglicized his name to Paul Revere in the 1720's and gave that name to his son. Being a French man living in Boston, America, he perhaps felt the name needed to be changed so as to better fit in, America did have hostilities with French and English during that time.
