They're the same thing it's just two different spellings, similar to the difference between the American "color" and British "colour." However, when you are using the plural of "staff" it would be staves and not staffs. I'm guessing that's where the term stave would have originated. They can be usedinterchangeably.

What is a stave clef?

A stave clef, commonly known as a staff clef, is a symbol placed at the beginning of a musical staff to indicate the pitch of the notes written on that staff. The most common types of stave clefs are the treble clef and bass clef, which designate specific note ranges for instruments and voices. The treble clef, for example, indicates that the second line of the staff represents the note G, while the bass clef indicates that the second line represents F. These clefs help musicians read and interpret the music accurately.
