I tried to find that for you without any success. You can do searches for origin of surnames and try to find it. I got interested in your question because I used to work for a lady from England whose last name is Bunch. I don't know if that's the country of origin for that particular name though.

England. I found the following citation.

Bunch:
Geoffrey Bunch, 1195, Northamptonshire
William Bunche, 1327, Cambridgeshire
Perhaps Middle English "bunche" meaning "a protuberance, a hump on the back"

I found no German citations (looking in Hans Bahlow's "A Dictionary of German Names, trans. by Edda Gentry).

A guess would be England. The soft "ch" is an English idiom. While it might be German, "ch" is pronounced as a k in almost every case in German, the only exception being certain foreign words if a k cannot be substituted.

I think it is a English title bestowed on a man who does great or courageous deeds and is knighted for them! handed down and embedded into a surname Or (Sir name) over the centuries.
