Jachmann
The forename Jach is of Hebrew descent and stems from Yohanan יוֹחָנָן (Yôḥānān), a shortened form of יְהוֹחָנָן (Yəhôḥānān), with the meaning "YHWH is gracious".[1]
In its Silesian mode, the name Jach can be traced to the Bohemian and Moravian variants of the Czech shorthand form Jach(a) of the given name Johannes.[2][3] It was first mentioned 1377 in Prague as Johannes alias Jacha.
In its Polish mode, the name was first mentioned in the 14th century: 1326 Iach molendinator, 1437 Johannem dictum Jach, 1440 Iaskone alias Iach and 1452 Iach de Vilczouicze.[4]
According to this, the surname Jachmann and the similar Jochmann can be seen as patronymic names.[5]
