Steeves (also Steves) is a surname. It was originated from Heinrich and Regina Stieff, who, in 1749, migrated from Germany to Hillsborough, New Brunswick, Canada.

The surname “Stieff” was later anglicized into “Steeve”, which eventually formed into surnames “Steves” and “Steeves”.[1]

The earliest "Steeves" members arrived to Hillsborough from Pennsylvania.[2]
