Kutsche (), with numerous other spellings, is a German surname with several etymologies, including one Hungarian and several Slavic. According to the onomast Hans Bahlow, the name ''Kutsche''/''Kutscha'' with different spellings, when found in the historical east (central) German linguistic area (such as Saxony, Bohemia and Silesia), is "clearly of Slavic origin, where the German ''u'' corresponds to Slavic ''o'' (as in the loan word 'Kutsche', from Hungarian Kocsi)."〔Hans Bahlow, ''Deutsches Namenlexikon: Familien- und Vornamen nach Ursprung und Sinn erklärt'', Suhrkamp Verlag, 1972, ISBN 3518365657〕 According to ''Duden: Lexikon der Familiennamen'', the name Kutsche is, when of Slavic origin, derived from a Polish word for "hut."〔Rosa Kohlheim, Volker Kohlheim, "Kutsche," ''Duden: Lexikon der Familiennamen'', Dudenverlag, 2008〕 Horst Naumann explains ''Kutschka'', ''Kutschke'' as "possibly a Polish toponymic surname, ''kucza'', diminutive ''kuczka'', 'tent, leaf hut, booth,' Slovak ''kuča'', 'hut, booth' or a nickname derived from vernacular Czech ''kuča'', 'head of hair.'"〔Horst Naumann, "Kutschka, Kutschke," in ''Buch der Familiennamen'', Falken, 1994, p. 176〕 Another possible origin is a loan word derived from the Hungarian word ''kocsi'', meaning "from Kocs" ().〔Horst Naumann, "Kut(z)sche," in ''Buch der Familiennamen'', Falken, 1994, p. 176〕 Kocs is a village in the Hungarian county Komárom-Esztergom, which was historically noted as a post town between Budapest and Vienna.〔''Deutsches Wörterbuch'', Vol. 5, pp. 2883–2887, 1864〕 From the 15th century onwards, the term ''kocsi'' (abbreviated from the original ''kocsi szekér'', "carriage from Kocs") came to refer to the large, usually closed, horse-drawn four-wheeled carriage which became known in English as a coach, and the term was widely adopted in other European languages. In German, the term entered usage in the early 16th century as a loan word from Hungarian, in the form ''Cotschien Wägnen'' or ''Gutschenwagen'', which in the period prior to 1600 evolved into ''Gotschiwagen'', ''Gotzig Wegen'' or ''Kutzschwagen'' and numerous abbreviated forms such as ''Gutsche'', ''Gotzi'', ''Kotsche'' and ''Kutze''.〔Wolfgang Pfeifer et al.: ''Etymologisches Wörterbuch des Deutschen''. 8th ed. Deutscher Taschenbuch Verlag, Munich, 2005, ISBN 3-423-32511-9, p. 753〕 The term was adopted as a surname by people somehow associated with coaches; e.g. people who made coaches, or someone found in a coach as a child, could be given the name.〔''German Genealogical Digest'' 1987–1989 Vols. 3–5 p. 63〕 Other names with this etymology include the Dutch Koets and the Afrikaans Coetzee. The related German term ''Kutscher'' refers to someone who drives a coach, ''viz.'', a coachman; however, according to Hans Bahlow, it can also be a Germanized name, ''Kutscher(a)'', derived from the Czech Kučera, meaning "curly."〔 ==People== People with variants of the surname with either etymology include: ;Gotsche *Steve Gotsche (born 1961), American golfer ;Gutsche *Jeremy Gutsche (born 1978), Canadian businessman ;Kutscha *Alexander Kutscha (1862–1921), German general *Martin Kutscha, German legal scholar *Paul Kutscha (1872–1935), Austrian painter *Kutscha (noble family), Bohemian noble family (ennobled 1837) *Kutscha-Lißberg (originally Kutscha/Kutsche), Austrian noble family (ennobled 1881) ;Kutzsche *Armin K.W.
