Perch (surname)
''Perch'' pronounced is a surname. Origins There is considerable confusion as to the origins of the surname, which has been recorded as ''Pearch'', ''Pearche'', ''Perch'', ''Perche'', ''Porch'' and possibly other variants. It was probably topographical or occupational, and as such would have described either somebody who possessed a ''perche'' of land (representing an area of land large enough to support a family), or who was a measurer of perches, a surveyor or land agent. However it is also possible that the name described a fisherman, one who professionally caught the freshwater fish known as the perch. Before the 14th century, large areas of England and particularly in East Anglia were permanently under water, and today's fens are what remains. There was in consequence a large inland fishing industry, that gradually died out over five hundred years. Another possibility is that the name is associated with the early textile industry, a ''perche'' being a frame used for drying clot ...
