Doubtless the same as the baronial name Peche, latinized in charters De Peccato. That the latter was pronounced as a dissyllable, Peche, is shown by the painted glass in a window at Lullingstone, co. Kent, where the arms of Sir John Peche are surrounded by branches of a peach-tree, fructed, and each peach, to complete the rebus, is inscribed with the letter E-PEACHE-E.

Petchey Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

Doubtless the same as the baronial name Peche, latinized in charters De Peccato. That the latter was pronounced as a dissyllable, Peche, is shown by the painted glass in a window at Lullingstone, co. Kent, where the arms of Sir John Peche are surrounded by branches of a peach-tree, fructed, and each peach, to complete the rebus, is inscribed with the letter E-PEACHE-E. See Stothard's Monumental Effigies. The modern arms of Peachey are evidently derived from those of Peche.
