Name forms

Fish, Fishe, Fysch, Fyshe

Origin

English, Jewish :
English: derived from the Old English word fisc, meaning fish. The name was given to those who worked catching or selling fish and to those who were thought to look like a fish.
Jewish: derived from the Yiddish word fish, meaning fish. The name was given for the same reasons as in the English definition and for its associations with the Hebrew first name Yona (Jonah). In the Bible, Jonah is swallowed by a "great fish". AFN

These people are all related to me.
