Shriver is a surname. The surname may derive from the obsolescent common noun shriver, "a person who shrives". The English verb ''to shrive'' is an obsolete word referring to the act of confession (transitive or intransitive, confessor or penitent).〔, headword shrive.〕 However, the basic meaning of the Indo-European root that is the linguistic ancestor of ''shrive'' is the idea of writing, and it lives on in many other modern words, including English ''scribe'' and ''scrivener'' and German ''schreiben'' (write ). Therefore, the surname ''Shriver'' may possibly have come from another occupation connected in some way with writing, such as clerk or secretary, and it could have arisen on the continent in an earlier form of spelling and pronunciation and been naturalised into English.
