Pease

The surname Pease is of English origin and is derived from the Middle English word “pesen,” which means “to weigh.” It was likely an occupational surname for someone who worked as a weigher or seller of peas. Another theory suggests that it could have been a nickname for a small or meek person, as “pease” also meant “small” or “little” in Middle English. Today, the surname Pease is relatively uncommon but can be found around the world, particularly in English-speaking countries.
