The name was often spelled Souche in medieval sources. I assume Zouche
pronounced similar to Souche.

In the place name, Ashby de la Zouche, it's pronounced "Zoosh".

The Lord Zouche who lived in Melbourne for many years called himself "Zooch"
rather than "Zoosh" - perhaps because the latter sounds a bit like a
plumbing noise.

Marilyn,
I should very much like to know this as well since I have found Zouche in
the following forms:
Zouche
Zouch
Zuch
Zuche
Souche
Suche
Sushe
Suzche
Scuche
lochowche
Roger de Chuche [alias la Zuche]
Zusche
Zousche
perhaps--De La Souchere
Even Tuche, although I believe there is a family by that name [Sir Alan La
Tuch the Justiciar of Chester, Sir William La Tuche ]

A version frequently used in early vernacular sources is "Ceoche".

Hilarious!

He sounds like a character in a Harry Potter novel.

Millions of us have a Zouche ancestor.

I'm not sure that "Lord Zouche" sounds quite like that, but he was at
pains to differentiate himself from a more famous personage, Screaming
Lord Sutch, who ennobled and brightened the British political scene for
many years and could have passed vividly into Rowling's imagination.

Patricia, thank you very much for the list - I will be more cognizant of
the variations. A case of the Zouches of the world "untied"?
