About Reeves
Sleek and cool, Reeves is the plural form of the Medieval occupation name, once associated with a local official who enforced feudal obligations, whose role may be equated to that of a sheriff or bailiff. In a recent year, Reeves doubled in popularity when it was given to 67 boys (and 13 girls) compared to 33 the year prior. This may be down to its similarity to Reese and Reid, and to Brooks and Banks.
Pronounced REEVZ.
As of October 2026, Reeves ranked #2442 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1717 in 1912.
