Douch Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
An old orthography of 'Dutch,' by which however we must understand, not a Hollander, but a German: the latter word being of rather recent importation into English. The first translation of the whole Bible into our language, by Miles Coverdale, is stated on the title page to have been rendered "out of the Douche (meaning German) and Latyn into Englyshe, 1535." Even so lately as 1660, Howell, in the preface of his Lexicon says, "the root of most of the English language is Dutch," by which of course he means the Teutonic or old German.
Douch: for Dutch. Skelton, in his “Parrot,” says that besides “French, Lattyn, Ebrew, “With Douch, with Spanysh, my tong can agree.” Hence the surnames Dowch, and perhaps also Douce, when not from the French.
