PEACH Family History

Recorded as Peach, Peacher, Peche, Petchey, and others, this is an English surname. It is however of medieval French origin of which it has two. It may be occupational and describe a person who kept a fruit orchard, one specialising in peaches or perhaps pears. The second possible origin is from the word peche, the Latin peccatum, meaning sin! As such it may have described a sinner of some sort, but given the robust humour of those Chaucerian times, probably meant the complete reverse. It may well have described someone who was rather too pious for the liking of his peer group.
