The Veschi name comes from the Latin word "episcopus," ultimately via the Greek word "episkopos," which meant an overseer from "epi" meaning "on, over" and "skopein," meaning "to look." This word evolved into the title for an overseer of a community of Christians, in almost every European language, including Bishop in English and vescovo, in Italian. As an Italian surname, it is thought that Veschi may have been taken on by someone who worked in the household of a bishop.
