Last Name: Pfeifer
My last name is Pfeifer, but I couldn't locate it in the database. I also know that it isn't exactly rare. A variation is Pfeiffer, i.e. the actress, Michelle Pfeiffer. I'm certain the name is of German ancestry. My father told me it means piper, but even though that explanation makes sense, I don't know if that is the exact meaning.

I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it.

I agree with your father, meaning "piper", and as you say, German (language). According to my German dictionary your spelling is the correct one.
