About the Project

This is the home page of the JAUCH one-name study.

This One Name Study seeks to collect together in one place everything about the surname JAUCH and the variants of that name (including Youch and Youck in addition to those listed above).

This study is aimed at helping Jauch descendants find their ancestral origins and connections to each other.

Origins of the Surname

"South and Swiss German: topographic name from Middle High German juch, a unit of measurement of land. Eastern German: from a shortened form of the personal name Joachim."^[1]

For many (but not all) who emigrated to North America, the spelling shifted to Yauck, Youck or Youch. The name is frequently misindexed and one common misindexed spelling is Janch.
