It's not very exciting I'm afraid. The name was Pleshet, invented by a family of Russian immigrants in, I guess, the late 1800's when they arrived in New York. No record of their Russian name that I can find.Then the children were teased at school, so the final "te" was added to make Pleshette as it is today.This info is from my late grandfather, Benjamin Pleshette.
