Sheets Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

(English) Dweller at, or near, a corner or projection, or on or near a steep hill; one who came from Sheat or Sheet (park), in Wight and Hampshire respectively.

Dictionary of American Family Names (1956) by Elsdon Coles Smith

U.S. names. We also find Shead, Sheard, Sheat, Sheath, and Sheed. Some derive the name Shead from a Gaelic word signifying a field, but there is no such word in that language. It might, however, be from scadh, strong. Sheat is a provincial (S. ) word for a young hog; the Anglo-Saxon sceard, English sheard, is a fragment; but these names, especially Sheat and Sheath, may translate a maker of sheaths or scabbards (Sheather is an English surname), from Anglo-Saxon sceath, scathe, a sheath.
