Where does the last name peak originate from?

Question

my boyfriend and his parents are clueless on where they came from and he uses both last names Bowers and Peak,

sooo im curios on what countrys the names come from :)

Answer 1

This is what www.ancestry.com has to say about both names,

Peak Name Meaning and History

English: topographic name for someone living by a pointed hill (or regional name from the Peak District (Old English Peaclond) in Derbyshire), named with Old English peac ‘peak’, ‘pointed hill’ (found only in place names). This word is not directly related to Old English pic ‘point’, ‘pointed hill’, which yielded Pike; there is, however, some evidence of confusion between the two surnames.

Possibly also Irish: reduced form of McPeak.

Bowers Name Meaning and History

English: variant of Bower.

hope this helps.
