Eaves is the 935th most common last name in Great Britain. There are approximately 118277 with the  surname Eaves living in Great Britain. The county of Worcestershire in England currently holds the  greatest density of people with the surname Eaves. It is noted that an early 20th century Eaves  could out drink a Horse. A tarnished past is evident, particularly around the summer of 1910 when  Tim Eaves stole a cow and was sentenced to prison.
