history

The place name probably comes from the Gallic gabros ( = goat ) with the frequently occurring addition court (Latin curtis for court ). It changed over the centuries from Givricourt (1152) to Geveroucourt (1178), Gievrecourt, Gyevrecourt, Gieuvercourt (1476), Gieuvrecourt (1553) and Givrecourt (1600) to today's Juvrecourt .

The municipality bears the former coat of arms of the Aubertin family , the former lords of Bathelémont and Juvrecourt. A silver cross on a blue background was added to the coat of arms; it refers to the local Church of Exaltation of the Cross .

The village of Juvrecourt was on the border with the German Empire from 1871 to 1914. Before the Franco-Prussian War it belonged to the canton of Vic-sur-Seille . After the Treaty of Frankfurt , the southern part of this canton became the new canton Arracourt, which remained with France and which also includes Juvrecourt.
