Dechert Family History
Dechert Name Meaning
German: from Middle High German decher, techer ‘unit
of ten’ (from Latin decem). This was a measure used
particularly with reference to hides, furs, and parchment; the
inorganic -t suggests that this was an occupational name,
probably for someone who handled such items.
