Peeles

Peeles is a proper noun that may refer to a surname or toponym. It is relatively rare in contemporary records and not associated with widely known institutions, events, or individuals.

As a surname: Peeles is a rare variant of the more common surname Peel. Genealogical references indicate usage in English-speaking countries, particularly the United Kingdom and North America, from the 18th or 19th century onward. The name likely originated as a locational surname derived from a place name associated with a peel tower, a defensive structure, or a landscape feature; however, precise etymology varies by family line and historical document. Due to its rarity, there are no widely cited notable bearers.

As a toponym: There are no widely recognized towns or municipalities named Peeles in current gazetteers. The form is occasionally found as a historical or fictional locality in maps, documents, or literary contexts, where it may stand in for a small settlement or neighborhood. In some cases, "Peeles" has appeared as a variant spelling of other place names in archival sources, but these uses are not common.
