Origin of Tacheny, Meaning of Tacheny

Origin: To the best of my studies and research:

Tacheny is a derivative from Walloon language for "From Aachen? in the Belgium area known as Wallonia specifically Liege.


The name Wallonia is related to the name Wales, as the old Germanic term Walh simply means "stranger". Both Wallonia and Wales are regions where a "strange" (i.e. non-Germanic) language and culture exist. Wallachia in Romania has a similar derivation. The term Walloon' was also used in the late 18th and the 19th century to refer to French-speakers who migrated to the Netherlands, e.g. 'Walloon parishes' in Dutch province of Nederlands-Limburg.
