Reve is French in Origin.

Reve is a modern given name drawn from the French noun rêve, meaning “dream,” from the verb rêver “to dream.” The circumflex is often omitted in English, yielding Reve. Used occasionally in France and Québec in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, it has been adopted in the wider Anglophone world amid the rise of inspiring word-names; recent visibility comes from the Canadian pop singer Rêve. The name is typically unisex and prized for its soft, evocative sound.

Variants and related forms include Rêve (accented), the Anglicized Reve, and the near-homophone Reeve (from Old English gerefa, “bailiff” or “steward”), which is sometimes chosen for a similar look though with a distinct origin. The spelling Reve is also familiar as a Dutch surname (compare the novelist Gerard Reve), though that line does not carry the “dream” sense. Overall the name suggests aspiration, imagination, and calm.
