- Origins Available:
 England The Norman Conquest of England in 1066 brought many new words to England from which surnames were formed. Pies was one of these new Norman names. It was specifically tailored to its first bearer, who was a talkative or thieving person. Such a person was so named for a fancied resemblance to the magpie, a common bird in England at the time that was known for such characteristics.
