ArchivesRe: spears surname?
in reply to a message by Andy ;—)
It could be another spelling of the English and Scottish surname Speirs. According to my sources this derives from SPIER, "a watchman."
Speirs is also found as a Jewish surname, no doubt one of several alternative spellings of the German place-name Speyer.
