Family Name / Last Name: Liechti
No. of characters: 7
Origin: Switzerland
Meaning: Like its Liechty variant, carried in the Upper Rhine, the name is probably from Switzerland. There seems to be a variant of Lichti, Lichty derived from Licht (= light, but also torch, candle, also worn as surname), with several possible meanings: one can think of such a metonymic nickname manufacturer or chandler, but we will also consider a Jewish name for symbolic value (equivalent Hebrew names or Uri Meir). However, Liechti could also correspond to the German adjective "leicht" (= light).
