"Variant of Pinchas"
The name Pinchus is commonly a male name from the "Egyptian" origin.
Pinchus is the Yiddish form of Pinchas, the Hebrew name of the biblical figure Phinehas, son of Eleazar and grandson of Aaron. Ashkenazi Jewish communities have used it as a given name for centuries, and it also appears in spellings such as Pinchos and Pinkhas. The etymology of the underlying Hebrew name is a matter of scholarly debate rather than settled fact, so it is best treated as a traditional name whose literal sense is not securely established.
Pinchas means "Dark-haired|Oracle".
The pronunciation of Pinchus is PIN-khus.
