Petchey Vad efternamn betyder
from Old French pecch(i)et pech(i)é (Latin peccatum) ‘fault sin’. The name has varied freely between the Old French form (with final -(i)é spelled -(i)e -ee and -y) and the synonymous Middle English form pec(c)he (see Petch). The stressed vowel in Pecché was short so Petchey and Petch are closest to the original pronunciation of the name but Peachey and Peach with a lengthened vowel are now much commoner.
