Banach (pronounced [ˈbanaç] in German, [ˈbanax] in Slavic Languages, and /ˈbɛnɛk/ or /ˈbɒnɒk/[1] in English) is a Jewish surname[2] of Ashkenazi origin[3] believed to stem from the translation of the phrase Son of man (Judaism), combining the Hebrew word 'Ben' (Son of) and Arameic 'Nasha' (Man). Worth mentioning is how the Sephardic surname "Banache" presents a variant with the "-ache" alternative ultima, common in other Jewish surnames such as Farache[4] (see: Verzache), Ayache, Nakache (see: Géraldine Nakache), Harache[5] or Marrache).
