Lech Coat of Arms and Surname Origin

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Lech, so the heraldry linked to Lach is a starting point, not an automatic right.

Meaning of the name

Records tie Lech closely to Lach. Its meaning, shared with Lach, is “A Pole (Lech)”.

Only a small detail separates the spellings: Lech has “e” where Lach has “a”. Census takers and immigration officers often wrote what they heard. 1,336 Americans were listed as Lech in the 2010 census. French birth records list 186 children named Lech between 1891 and 2000.
