Reaves

The name Reaves is more commonly given to boys. The meaning of Reaves is 'steward's son', 'bailiff's son' or 'son of someone who works as a steward'. The name Reaves is originated from English. Records show that this name was first used in England and Ireland. This name is believed to be originating from the Anglo-Saxon tribes in Britain. This name became popular as a name for people who usually worked as representatives of a lord, or a bailiff. After a while, the name Reaves became popular as a surname, as many families adopted it. Reaves is believed to be gotten from the Old English word 'refa', which means 'representative'. The name was also used to represent any official who may have been appointed by the lord of the region to supervise his tenants' work or affairs. The name Reaves was first recorded in Leicestershire, where it was first used as a surname by Walter Le Reve and James Le Reve, as early as 1220.

Some of these variations include Reeve, Reave, Reaves, Reeves, and many others. Many English families migrated to North America and some other parts of Europe, and this contributed to the present popularity and spread of the Reaves families across many countries.
