It is a name for a baker in Old German. Bach is also a German local name for someone who lived by a stream, which was originally derived from the German word "bach" which means stream.One can encounter great variation in the spelling of surnames: in early times, spelling in general, and thus the spelling of names was not yet standardized; and later, spellings would change with branching and movement of families.

They settled all across the United States in Pennsylvania, Texas, New York, Illinois, and California. Many came to Canada also, settling in Ontario and the prairie provinces. Analysis of immigration records has shown some of the first Bachs to arrive in North America, and among them were: Bach Settlers in the United States in the 17th Century

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto. Motto: In cruce spes mea Motto Translation: In the cross is my hope.
The Bach Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Bach Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname. This page was last modified on 26 July 2011 at 12:37. ©2000-2012 Swyrich Corporation.
