Meaning and origin of the Stich last name
Meaning of the Stich last name: a stitch-related trade or a steep slope and path. Stich has German and Ashkenazic occupational explanations involving a tailor or cobbler. Regional landscape routes instead point to a steep slope in the south or a path in the north, and places called Stich also matter. The last name should not be reduced to sewing without checking its geographical context.
