Bouch Surname User-submission:
This surname may be a variant of Buchannan. Most Buchannans are to be found north of the River Annan while most Bouches are found to the south. In the Sixteenth Century, there was a fashion for giving names a French spelling, for instance Ann Bolyen's father was a plain Bollin and I know there is a spelling of Buchannan that is Bouchanan (I saw the variant in a kilt shop on Princes Street in Edinburgh) so that to me is the most likely derivation of the name.
