Does anyone know where the surname Kearce (rhymes with pierce) comes from or what it means? Thank you!

Kearce, Kerce, Kearse and Kierce are all alterations of the German name Kersch which is either from Kersch, a placename in Rheinland-Pfalz, or from Middle High German kirsche ‘cherry’, the nickname of a grower or seller.
