[Surname] Meaning of surname "Peaks?"
I have been searching for the meaning of my last name. I cannot find it anywhere. "Peaks."
I would also like to know what my first name means. "Joyelle."

Thank you!

Peak and Peake are English surnames. They are said to denote someone whose home was near a peak, or hill. I've also read that they identified someone from the Peak District of Derbyshire which is hilly country. If Peaks is of English origin it could be a variation.
