Family Name / Last Name: Ach
No. of characters: 3
Origin: Algeria
Meaning: The name is focused in Brittany, where it is present at least since the early seventeenth century (Plouguerneau). The word 'ach' means in Breton celery, but it seems to have been rather Ac'h case, a term whose meaning escapes me and that is found in various place names of the country of Abers: Aber Ac'h , Kastell Ac'h. We also find the name Ach in the East (including 57), with an uncertain meaning: perhaps we should think of the word Hacke = pick, hoe, or a apocope of Achard.
