Good morning. I am on another genealogy list discussing Pennsylvania. There is a discussion about the words Tschim and Tschatsch. Someone is trying to determine if these words could represent people's names - James or Jack. Someone else suggested it is a term of endearment. Do you have any suggestions, in general? It is not my family.
Thank you.

Hi Katy ,
to me the two names Sound like Jim (Tschim) and George (Tschatsch).

Moin an alle,
Tschim sounds to me also as the name Jim.
Tschatsch is a family name.
This could perhaps be the word "chach", which is an old name of "Taschkent:
therefore a family name.
Are these two name are used in one same sentence or are there different
sources?
Good luck in searching.

Kathy, thanks for asking this question; and Hellmut, thanks for your answer. I have wondered about this name all my life. My father’s given name was George, but as a child in Ohio he was called Yatz by family and friends. (We had/have no idea how this would be spelled.) He only understood a little Deutsch, but he said this was a nickname for George. The main dialect of the family was Plattdeutsch, as his parents were born in Belm and Wietmarschen.

Hallo Beth,
I am glad that at least I could help you. Up to now I did not have as many luck!
Have a nice time!
