The distinguished and ancient German surname Pfersch is derived from the Middle High German word "pfersich," meaning "peach." It is likely that the name was first borne by a peach grower or an orchard keeper; it is also possible that the progenitor of the name lived near a peach tree, or at a house or inn bearing the sign of a peach tree.

Early Origins of the Pfersch family
The surname Pfersch was first found in Swabia, where the Pfersch family became a prominent contributor to the development of the district from ancient times. Always prominent in social affairs, the family became an integral part of that turbulent region as it emerged to form alliances with other families within the Feudal System and the nation.
