Pinches is the Yiddish form of the Hebrew name Phinehas (Pinechas). While its exact etymology is debated, it is traditionally associated with the Hebrew word for 'mouth of brass' or 'serpent's mouth,' though in a Yiddish context, it serves as a common vernacular equivalent to the biblical Phinehas.
