The question why someone was called "Warzecha" is demanding. It gives primarily the impression of a nickname. And the reason for this nickname could be a similar sounding territorial surname (e.g Warzycki, i.e. from Warzyce), a correspondent ocupational name (e.g. spoonmaker) or a similar sounding patronymic name (Warszeka i.e. of Warszek).
