A rare surname recorded in Perthshire. It may be from OF. neve, 'nephew,' but is probably a variant of Nevay, which see, but compare Neaves. Jean Neave is recorded in Edinburgh, 1661 (Edinb. Marr.).
(Teutonic) Nephew [Middle English neve, Old English nefa = Old Norse nefi, nephew = Dutch neef, nephew, cousin = Middle High German neve, O.H.Ger. nevo (mod. neffe), nephew] Walter le Neve.—Hundred Rolls By metonymy, neve also denoted a spendthrift, or prodigal, as did the Latin nepos.

Neve is a very ancient name in this county, as well as in other counties. Robert le Neve held Woldham Hall in the reign of Edward I. (H.) In the first half of last century, Gabriel Neve, attorney - at - law, lived at Hayes, near Bromley (H.). It is remarkable that this surname, which is now usually spelt Neave in Norfolk and Suffolk, has been for six centuries confined to the same area. The Hundred Rolls inform us that during the reign of Edward I. it occurred in the form of Le Neve in Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire; and, as shown above, Hasted alludes to its being in Kent during the same reign. Even towards the close of the 19th century its home is still in Norfolk, Suffolk, and Kent.
The Norfolk name of Neave, or Neve, as it is written in a few instances, was represented in this county, and also in the adjacent counties of Cambridge and Suffolk, by Le Neve during the 13th century (H. R.).
