Name origin and meaning	yes-man

The Jauch family of Germany is a Hanseatic family which can be traced back till the Late Middle Ages. At the end of the 17th century the family showed up in the Free Imperial and Hanseatic City of Hamburg. The members of the family acted as long-distance merchants. They became hereditary grand burghers of Hamburg and were Lords of Wellingsbüttel Manor – nowadays a quarter of Hamburg.

The Jauch have brought forth some notable lineal descendants, both patrilineal and matrilineal. They can trace the nearer cognatic kinship of the issue of the progenitor Johann Christian Jauch the Elder (1638–1718) in the following centuries to a number of renowned contemporaries.

The Jauch originate from Thuringia where as the first family member the widow Lena Joherrin is chronicled 1495 in today's Bad Sulza.

Johann Christian Jauch the Elder (1638–1718) left Sulza and entered the service of the Güstrow branch of the Grand Ducal House of Mecklenburg. Two of his sons joined the service of the Electors of Saxony and Kings of Poland. These branches were since the lieutenant colonel of the Royal Polish Foot Guards Regiment^[] Franz Georg Jauch (b. 1681) and the major general Joachim Daniel Jauch (1688–1754) mistakenly regarded as members of the . They became extinct in the 18th century.
