The surname Pitcher is of English origin and is derived from the Middle English word "picher" or "piccer," which referred to a pitcher or jug used for holding liquids. It was an occupational surname given to someone who made or sold these containers. The name can be traced back to the 13th century in England.
However, when it comes to its Irish connection, the surname Pitcher has a different origin. It is believed to be an anglicized form of the Gaelic name "Ó Doicheirtaigh." This Gaelic name translates to "descendant of Doicheartach," which is a personal name meaning "hurtful."
The Pitcher family originally hailed from County Tipperary in Ireland. They were one of the septs, or clans, of the ancient Eóganachta dynasty. The Eóganachta were a powerful ruling family in Munster, and the Pitcher sept was located in the historical territory of Ormond. They held significant influence in the region and were known for their military prowess.
Over time, some members of the Pitcher family migrated from Ireland to other parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, and Australia. Today, individuals with the surname Pitcher can be found in various countries, but its Irish roots remain an important part of the surname's history.
