Where Does the Pietzsch Surname Come From?

Many Pietzsch families will find their roots under Pietsch, the form most records use. Before spelling was fixed, Pietsch was also written Pietzsch. It grew out of a personal name: “from the name Peter”. Regional accents shaped spellings long before dictionaries fixed them.
