What is the meaning of the name Deutsch ?

The baby name Deutsch is a Unisex name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced /dɔytʃ/ (German); English approximation: /dɔɪtʃ/ — "doych".

Deutsch is German in Origin.

Deutsch is a rare given name taken from the German adjective meaning "German" or "of the German people/language." It descends from Old High German diutisc "vernacular, of the people," built on Proto-Germanic *theudo "people" (PIE *teut-), the same root that yielded English Dutch and the ethnonym Teutonic. As an ethnonym, Deutsch arose in the early medieval period to distinguish the local tongue from Latin.

As a personal name, Deutsch sees sporadic modern use, typically as a heritage marker or a surname-as-first-name, and is effectively unisex though more often assigned to boys. Variants and related forms include archaic Teutsch, Pennsylvania German Deitsch, Yiddish Daytsh/Doitsh, and the Anglicized spelling Deutch; cognate Dutch appears as a nickname-style given name in English. Because it denotes identity rather than a virtue or saint, Deutsch carries a straightforward meaning: "German, belonging to the German people."
