Pankey is an Americanized form of French Panetier: occupational name for a pantryman from panetieran agent derivative of pain ‘bread’. Alteration of the French ending -tier to English -key is typical for American French surnames. The American version originated with two French brothers who emigrated to Virginia in 1700, Jean and Etienne Panetier.[1]
It is also a North American last name[2] and the Anglicized form of the German-language surname Pahnke,[3] which in itself is derived from the diminutive form pank/panek of the Lower Sorbian/Upper Sorbian/Polish word pan for "man", "master" or "mister" (and can thus roughly be translated as "little gentleman", “young noble” or "junker").[4][5][6]
Notable people with the surname include:
- Ashton Pankey (born 1992), American basketball player
- Aubrey Pankey (1905–1971), American baritone
- Eric Pankey (born 1959), American poet and artist
- Irv Pankey (born 1958), American football player
- Susan Pedersen Pankey (born 1953), American swimmer
- Titus Pankey Jr. (1925–2003), American physicist
