The surname Touchet, originally spelled Tuchet, is of French origin and was introduced to England after the Norman Conquest of 1066. The name derives from the Old French word "touchet," meaning "a small bag" or "a purse," and was likely used as a nickname for someone who carried or made bags.
As for its Irish connection, the Touchet surname can be found among Irish families, particularly those with Norman ancestry. The Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century brought many Anglo-Norman families to the country, including those with the surname Touchet. These families were granted lands and titles by the English Crown in Ireland, and their descendants became part of the Irish nobility.
One notable Irish family with the Touchet surname was the de Marisco family. They were prominent in Irish history and held lands in County Wexford. The de Marisco family had close ties to the English Crown and were involved in various political and military affairs. Over time, the surname Tuchet evolved into Touchet in Ireland as the family assimilated into the local culture. Today, there are still individuals and families of Irish descent who bear the surname Touchet.
