* As an Islamic surname (generally the Indian subcontinent), honorific title from Turkish paşa. This is also found in Albania, Turkey and Slavic countries. Compare Basha, Bey. * As an English surname, variant of Pasher, itself Anglicized from French Perchard, a suffixed form of Old French perche (“pole”), from Latin pertica.

From Ottoman Turkish پاشا (pāšā) (Turkish paşa); this either from Persian پادشاه (pâdšâh, “padishah, king”), or from Ottoman Turkish باش (baş, “head”), or from Ottoman Turkish بچه (beççe, “male offspring”), this in turn from Persian بچّه (bačče). Ottoman Turkish باش (baş, “head”) + آغا (ağa, “master”) has also been proposed as etymon.
