Estevez is Spanish in Origin.
Estevez is a Spanish and Galician patronymic surname turned given name, built on the -ez suffix meaning “son of.” It derives from Esteban/Estevo, the Iberian forms of Greek Stephanos, “crown, wreath, honor.” The standard Spanish spelling is Estévez, with the accent often dropped in diaspora contexts (Estevez). Related Iberian forms include Portuguese Esteves and Catalan/Occitan Esteve, all tracing back to the same Greek root.

The name gained visibility through bearers of the Estévez/Sheen family in film and television.
