Ochs Name Meaning
German and Jewish (Ashkenazic): from German Ochs ‘ox’,
Middle High German ohse; probably a nickname for a strong or
lumbering individual, or a metonymic occupational name for someone who
tended or drove oxen, or for a cattle dealer. In some cases the
surname was a habitational name derived from an inn sign. As a Jewish
name it is often ornamental.
