Pietsch
Pietsch is a German family name .
Origin and meaning
The name probably originated from a German-Slavic short form of the name Peter or Piotr .
In the past, “Pietsch” was also a slang expression for drinkers or as “Muskelpietsch” for muscle man, and the verb “pietschen” for “drink” was also common. This can be traced back to the identical Slavic verb (e.g. Upper Sorbian / Polish pić , Russian пить ) for drink .
