Peard Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from a nickname. 'the pear-headed,' from the shape of the head. This solution seems strange, but it is highly probable. The surname Pearhead occurs in the Hundred Rolls, as may be seen below:
Robert Perheyed, Nottinghamshire, 1273. Hundred Rolls.
1581. Edward Peard, Devon: Register of the University of Oxford.
1588. John Pearte and Elizabeth Eyre: Marriage Lic. (London).
1618. Hugh Peard. of Bristol: Register of the University of Oxford.
Katherine Peart in Nather Towie, 1637 (RSCA., II, p. 434). Perhaps from Pert near Stracathro.
Is apparently a contraction of Pearhead (Robert Perheved—Hund. Rolls)—either a nickname, or a local name from a Pear(-Tree) Head (-Land) [v. Pear1; and + Old English heáfod, head, high ground, upper part]; but there may have been some confusion with Peart, Pert, q.v.
In various dialects signifies lively or brisk, and is so used by several old authors. In Sussex, "Peart and Lively" is a common appellation given to a pair of oxen.
Ralph and William de Parde, Normandy 1180-95 (Magni Rotuli Scaccarii Normanniae).
From the French, Pirard; a personal name.
Peard is an old, though a rare, Devonshire name. Oliver Peard was the name of the mayors of Tiverton in 1721, 1743, and 1755 (D.). During the loth and 17th centuries several of the mayors of Barnstaple bore this name, and the Peards also represented that town in Parliament in the reigns of James I. and Charles I. (G.).
