Pochin is a British surname. The surname Pochin is of likely Anglo-Norman origin, with possible roots in the Norman personal name Pocin, introduced to England after the Norman Conquest of 1066. It has been historically associated with Leicestershire, where the Pochin family held land. Another theory links the name to the Middle English word pouche, possibly as a diminutive occupational surname.
