According to Herder's Lexikon der Heiligen und Heiligenverehrung Vol 1, Exuperius (according to tradition) was the first bishop of Bayeux (4th cent.)
The "Heiligenlexikon" (www.heiligenlexikon.de) gives "he who devotes himself" as the meaning of his name. I couldn't find anything matching in my Greek dictionaries, but maybe somebody else does.
