First off, there are no priests in Buddhism. There are monks and nuns. I don't know of the particular incident you are referring to, but doves are internationally recognized as a sign of peace, so the monk was probably making an offering of peace at a ceremony.

How did the surname Lama in Nepal originate?

Lama for Buddhist Nepalese basically means a priest or monk. They were given this 'title' which later they used as their surnames. Their family then also began to use Lama as their surname. The surname Lama is mainly used by the ethnic group Tamangs but not all Tamangs use Lama. Lama is only used by people whose head of the family has the occupation as a Buddhist Teacher/ priest or their older generations were a Buddhist priest. Lama as a surname is also used by some other buddhist ethnic groups such as Sherpas, Hyolmos.
