A person or craftsperson who makes, installs, or works with eaves on buildings; a rare or archaic occupational term.
From 'eave' (the overhang of a roof) with the agent suffix '-er' meaning one who does the action. This is an Old English-derived occupational word.
Like 'thatcher' (roof maker) or 'cooper' (barrel maker), 'eaver' shows how medieval trades became surnames — the Evers and Eavers in your phonebook might be descended from roof-edge specialists.
