A Fife surname. It is the same as Pyott which see. Kathren Pai in Weyms, 1632 (PBK., p. 36), The tombstone of Eufamie Pye in the Howff, Dundee, carries the arms of Pyot. An old Lancashire name (Guppy, p. 253). compare French Lopie.
One of the many surnames derived from Hugh. Ap-Hugh has, in some parts of Wales, been corrupted to Pye. See anecdote in English Surn. i. 180. It may, however, sometimes be derived from the bird, now called the Mag-pie, the first syllable of which is a puerile addition, like Tom and Robin, in ' Tom Cat ' and ' Robin Redbreast.' Pye is the true Old English name of the bird, as found in medieval literature; e.g.:
A contraction of Ap Hugh (see Pugh); also, a bird; there was an old sign of a pye over an inn in London called Bye Corner.
Lancashire is the home of the Pyes of the north of England, whilst Kent is their home in the south. In the 13th century the name was represented in Norfolk, Suffolk, Hants, etc. (H. R.).
