Answer 1

Hafer:German and Jewish (Ashkenazic): metonymic occupational name for a grower of or dealer in oats, from German Hafer ‘oats’. Compare Haber. As a Jewish surname, it is in many cases ornamental.

Bier: German and Jewish (Ashkenazic): from Middle High German bier ‘beer’, German Bier, Yiddish bir, a metonymic occupational name for a brewer of beer or a tavern owner, or in some cases perhaps a nickname for a beer drinker.

South German: from the short form of a personal name formed with Old High German bero ‘bear’.

Northern English and Scottish: variant of Byers.

Probably the name of someone who brewed oat beer.
