Looking for the meaning of my surname, origin is Hungarian, haven't been able to find much so far, any help would be appreciated.

I think it means "goatherd" but the accent on the first E raises doubts.

Having done a dictionary check I'm pretty sure that the mark over the first E is a gatecrasher, shouldn't be there. So I'm going for the meaning "goatherd", and the prounciation KETCHKAYSH, stressed on the first syllable, as is always the case in Hungarian.
