Origin and History of APPACHERLA

Description:

The surname Pacherl is a variant of the Czech name Pakar. The Czech name Pakar is derived from the word pak, meaning “to hit” or “to strike.” The first known Pacherl ancestor was a peasant who lived in Bohemia in the late 12th century. The Pacherls were one of the most prominent Czech families in the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance. The Pacherls were merchants and bankers, and many of them were also members of the nobility. The Pacherls were among the first Czechs to emigrate to the United States in the early 19th century. The Pacherls are now found all over the world. The Pacherls usually have Czech surnames, but there are also Pacherl surnames in Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, and Romania.
