One of the two main characters of a series of books written by P.G. Wodehouse. Jeeves was a butler and veritable genius who got Bertie, his bumbling but well-meaning employer, out of trouble and inevitable misunderstandings.
Bertie: "So there you are. I'm on the horns of...what are those things you get on the horns of?"
Jeeves: "Dilemmas, sir."
(pg. 35, "Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves" 1963)

1. Name of Bertie Wooster's butler from P.G. Wodehouse's comedy Jeeves. This is maybe his most populer story.
In every book Bertie encounters a problem in his life, sometimes involving either his family or friends. Jeeves supports him with advice and help to get it off his chest.
Granada also aired it's own television series "Jeeves and Wooster", based off the book. Stephen Fry as Jeeves, and Hugh Laurie as Bertie. Both are actors in the Black-Adder series.
2. This is also a name for the butler stereotype. It sometimes honors Wodehouse's character as a namesake. An example is Ask Jeeves, the mascot of the internet search engine.
