The name Bower refers to a person from the village of Bower, Essex. The German counterpart to this word-Bauer-means Farmer. Some German immigrants changed the spelling of the name to match the English version. For this reason it is difficult to tell, without substantial geneological research, whether the etyology of a person with the name Bower or Bowers actually relates to one hailing from Bower, Essex or from a patrilineal line of German farmers; or is some instances perhaps both.
