Banach
Banach (pronounced German pronunciation: ['banax] in German, [ˈbanax] in Slavic Languages, and /ˈbɛnɛk/ or /ˈbɒnɒk/[1] in English) is a Jewish surname[2] of Ashkenazi origin[3] believed to stem from the translation of the phrase "son of man", combining the Hebrew word ben ("son of") and Arameic nasha ("man"). The Sephardic surname Banache presents a variant with the -ache alternative ultima, common in other Jewish surnames such as Farache,[4] Ayache, Nakache, Harache[5] or Marrache.
Banach means bastard in Old Polish and in some Old Polish dialects someone clumsy.[6] As of 2023 about 67529 Polish people carried this surname in forms: Banach, Banachewicz, Banachowicz, Banachowski, Banasz, Banaszyński, Banaszyk, Banaszuk, Banaszewski, Banaszek, Banaszak, Banasiak, Banaśkiewicz, ... [7]. All those forms are connected with Banach, as in Polish -ch suffix often transgressed to -sz or -ś/-si. Additional -wicz is a patronymic suffix. Late (XVII century+) -ski/-cki/-dzki suffixes are connected with historical (middle ages) -ski reflecting Polish z (from) nobiliary particle (e.g. Jan z Tarnowa was equally known by the name Jan Tarnowski).
