Origin: The name, Van Cleve', means, 'from Cleve', a person or family from the duchy of Cleve, formerly a part of the Netherlands, and now a part of Germany (Kleve). Many Dutch families fled to the independent Duchy of Cleve in the 16th century to escape religious persecution. Jan Van Cleef, the original member of the family to emigrate to America (in 1653), was recorded as 'Cleef' because of the Dutch pronunciation of Cleve as 'Cleef or Cliff', and the phonetic spelling by the authorities in America. The Van Cleave name was originally Van Cleve and there is no record as to why or when it was changed.

Origin: THE HISTORY OF THE HAVERTY FAMILY
HAVERTY; O'HAVERTY; O'HAVERTA
"DESCENDANT OF ABHARTACH"
ABARTACH: ABHARTACH (av-art-ach) m. This name was in use among the Ui-Iffernain (Heffernans) of Dal Cais amongst others. In the Finn-tales Abartach is the father of the beloved of the warrior Cael. The name gaves birth to the modern surname O' Haverty.
This old Connacht name is now, and indeed always was rare. It is, however, fairly well represented in a smal area round the County Galway parishes of Kilmordaly and Craughwell. It is not often met with in the records. The Annals of Innisfallen mention O' hAbartaig, as Abbot of Mayo in 1095; William O'Haverta is included in a list of County Galway "pardons" in 1584; and one Dennis O' Haverta occurs in the Strafford Inquistion of Mayo in 1635. O' hAbhartaigh is the modern Irish form of the name.

Origin: The name of Eaves or Eves derived from the Old English word of Efes, meaning the border or edge of a wood or hill.
The largest group of people with the name of Eaves live in the county of Lancashire in the UK and their name probably originates from a place once called the Fishwick Eves, which was near the city of Preston.
The first person to take on the name of Eaves in this area was Thomas d'Ewyas, an Anglo Norman, who became Thomas del Eves, c1350, following acquisition of land bequeathed by his mother.
