Jachmann

The forename Jach is of Hebrew descent and stems from Yohanan יוֹחָנָן‎ (Yôḥānān), a shortened form of יְהוֹחָנָן‎ (Yəhôḥānān), with the meaning "YHWH is gracious".[1]

Jachmann is a German surname.

In its Silesian mode, the name Jach can be traced to the Bohemian and Moravian variants of the Czech shorthand form Jach(a) of the given name Johannes.[2][3] It was first mentioned 1377 in Prague as Johannes alias Jacha.

In its Polish mode, the name was first mentioned in the 14th century: 1326 Iach molendinator, 1437 Johannem dictum Jach, 1440 Iaskone alias Iach and 1452 Iach de Vilczouicze.[4]

According to this, the surname Jachmann and the similar Jochmann can be seen as patronymic names.[5]
