Best Answer

The surname Gooch has two possible origins, both being Gaelic or Celtic. It could be a occupational name coming from the pre 7th century Gaelic term "gobha", or the Cornish-Breton word "goff", both meaning iron worker. It may also derive from from the Gaelic or Celtic word "coch" meaning red, which would have characterized a person having red hair or a red complexion.
