Nietsch Family
The German family name Nietsch is considered by scholars to be of personal name origin.  According to scholars the "oldest and most pervasive type of surname is that derived from a given name".  Such family names may be derived from a paternal first name or from the first name of the grandfather or indeed a more remote ancestor of the original bearer of the surname. With regard to the family name Nietsch, it derives from the name "nietsche" a pet form of the name "Nikolaos".  Thus, we can say, that the original bearer of the surname Nietsch would have been known as "the son or descendant of Nietsch".  Varients fof the surname Nietsch include Nietsche, Nietzsche  and Nietschmann.

Early references to this name or to a varient is a record of one Peter Nietzsche, who was a councillor of Freiburg in 1570 and his name can be found in the "Deutsche Gerschichte in Ahnenrageln".

Research is of course ongoing and this name may have been documented even earlier than the dates indicated here.
