Reeves

Medieval estate managers

Reeves is an English surname, originally denoting someone who held the office of reeve or worked for one.

The name is perhaps best known through actor Keanu Reeves.

Like many occupational surnames, it has become common enough to shed its original associations entirely. (Lowercase reeves is the plural of the historical official.)
