From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Hivites
     one of the original tribes scattered over Palestine, from Hermon
     to Gibeon in the south. The name is interpreted as "midlanders"
     or "villagers" (Gen. 10:17; 1 Chr. 1:15). They were probably a
     branch of the Hittites. At the time of Jacob's return to Canaan,
     Hamor the Hivite was the "prince of the land" (Gen. 24:2-28).


     
       They are next mentioned during the Conquest (Josh. 9:7;
     11:19). They principally inhabited the northern confines of
     Western Palestine (Josh. 11:3; Judg. 3:3). A remnant of them
     still existed in the time of Solomon (1 Kings 9:20).
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:

  Hivites, wicked; wickedness
