Pape is a nickname surname, which belongs to the category of hereditary surnames. Nicknames form a broad and miscellaneous class of surnames, and can refer directly or indirectly to one's personality, physical attributes, mannerisms, or even their habits of dress.

Although this is also a title of office, as a surname, it was most often applied as a nickname.

In such difficult times, Ireland, Australia, and North America looked like better homes for many Scots. The trips were expensive and grueling, but also rewarding, as the colonies were havens for those unwelcome in the old country.

The Scottish legacy has resurface in more recent times, though, through Clan societies, highland games, and other organizations.
