Lach (name)

Lach (Polish pronunciation: ), Lyakh or Ljach is a surname. It was used by East Slavs to refer to Poles. Due to population resettlements of ethnic Poles after the Soviet annexation of eastern Polish territories (see Kresy), it is slightly more frequent in western Poland. Over 10,000 people have this surname in Poland. In the Czech Republic and Slovakia, Lach served as a short form of the personal name Ladislav. It is also a variant of Lah, a Slovene word for Vlachs.

Notable people with the name include:

  • Andrei Lyakh (born 1990), Russian footballer
  • Elmer Lach (1918–2015), Polish-Canadian ice hockey player
  • Günter Lach (1954–2021), German politicians
  • Juan Sebastian Lach (born 1970), Mexican composer
