It might not be a final etymology but Jean Tosti says that Pinochet is a name found in Aveyron and in the north of Brittany and that it could be a diminutive of pinoche, which could be linked to the fruit of the pine tree or to... the penis — une pine (pronounced like the English “pin”) is a prick, and pinochet could then be seen as a “little prick”. It could also be linked to the conical pieces of wood (pinoches) used on boats to fill holes in the hull.
