Fitche is English in Origin.

Fitche is a rare English given name drawn from a medieval surname. Its root lies in Anglo-Norman French fiche/fiché, "fixed" or "fastened," from ficher "to fix," which entered Middle English as fitche/fitchee, a heraldic term describing a cross with a pointed lower limb for planting in the ground. This etymology gives the appealing sense of "steadfast" or "firmly set." Spelling variants and related forms include Fitch, Fytch, Fitchee, Fitchett (a diminutive), and Fitchew; the surname also sometimes arose from Middle English fiche/fitchew "polecat" or from fitch "vetch" (the legume), producing secondary folk meanings.

As a given name, Fitche has appeared only sporadically, typically in Britain and colonial New England from the 18th century onward as a transferred surname or honorific family name, with clusters in East Anglia-linked families. Today it remains very uncommon, appreciated by parents seeking a crisp, heritage-rich choice with medieval and heraldic overtones.
