Pike Name Meaning and Origin
Pike is of Old English origin, typically derived from the word “pic,” meaning “a pointed object” or “sharp point.” It was originally used as a surname, likely referring to a person who lived near a pointed hill or a sharp peak, or it could have denoted someone who worked with a pike (a long spear-like weapon). As a surname, it was often a geographic or occupational name. In some cases, it might also be linked to the fish called a pike, known for its sharp teeth and long, pointed shape. While it is primarily used as a surname, Pike has occasionally been adopted as a given name.
