English : nickname for a tall, thin man, from Middle English spir ‘stalk’, ‘stem’. This was apparently used as a personal name or byname, in view of the fact that there are patronymic derivatives.

The application to a church steeple is not attested before the 16th century, and is not a likely source of the surname.Jewish (Ashkenazic) : variant of Spiro.
