Where did the German Dach family come from? What is the German Dach family crest and coat of arms? When did the Dach family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Dach family history?

The German surname Dach is derived from the Old German word "dachs" or "dahs," meaning "badger." The name was probably given as a nickname to someone who resembled a badger in some way, perhaps with a streak of white in dark hair or with nocturnal habits. Dach was likely passed down as a surname to the descendants of a bearer of the nickname, perhaps as early as the twelfth century, when Germany first began to pass down hereditary surnames.
