Steeves (also Steves) is a surname. It originates with Johann Heinrich Stieff from Münsingen, Germany, who, along with his wife Regina (née Stahlecker) emigrated to Pennsylvania in 1749, and in 1763 or 1766 joined a group of several other families aboard the ship Lovey and arrived in New Brunswick, with Stieff settling in Hillsborough, Albert County.

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

The earliest "Steeves" members arrived to Hillsborough from Pennsylvania.
