The surname Pike has its origins in both England and Ireland. In the case of Irish descent, the name Pike is an anglicized version of the Gaelic name Mac Píce or Mac Peice. The prefix "Mac" means "son of," therefore Mac Píce would mean "son of Píce" or Mac Peice would mean "son of Peice."
The name Píce is believed to have been derived from the Gaelic word "píce," meaning "pike" or "sharp point." It is likely that the original bearer of the name was a person who was known for their sharp or pointed features, or perhaps someone who used a pike as a weapon.
The surname Pike is particularly associated with County Donegal in Ireland, where many of the Mac Píce or Mac Peice families originated. Over time, these families migrated to other parts of Ireland and to various countries around the world, including the United States, Canada, and Australia.
As with many Irish surnames, the spelling and pronunciation of Pike may have been altered over time, depending on the region and the individual family. Therefore, variations of the surname, such as Pique or Peake, may also be found among individuals with Irish ancestry.
