The surname Priest likely originated from an occupational name for someone who worked in the church, such as a priest. It may also have been used to denote someone's role as a spiritual leader or counselor within a community.

Do you mean the leader of a local church? Only Catholics refer to this person as a "priest". Other denominations use expressions such as "minister", "pastor", "elder", "rector", etc. A priest (in any religion) is a person who represents the needs of the people to the gods. So every Christian is a priest. Every time you pray for someone else, you are being a priest to that person. In another sense, there is only one Priest in Christianity - Jesus. He intercedes for us when we sin and secures forgiveness from God the Father.
