A mensch is Yiddish for a "good man" (a good guy, someone who does good for others and everyone; reliable, trustworthy, honorable, very decent and caring). My ex-high school coach and my closest buddy of 43 years each exemplify a mensch; and I can only try to be like them.
• Mensch (n.) One who does good deeds: He is a real mensch, the kind of guy you can always count on.

It is a form of the word, "mensch", which is German for, "person". I hope this helps!
