Help[Surname] Origins of the surname Gasche
Gasche was my grandmother's maiden name, and while I know that there is French and German ancestry on her side I haven't been able to find anything besides it potentially meaning "left" or "gauche" which doesn't make much sense. I want to see if anyone anywhere has any ideas.

Without looking it Up, my spontaneous guess IS a derivation from the given Name Gertrud (Gesche IS a known short Form of IT)
EDIT: Looking IT Up in Bahlow brings a different etymology: He traces the Name to Slavic forms of John via Jasche or Jaschka.
