The proud and noble English surname of Fenech arose from the most ancient of days when the Anglo-Saxon tribes ruled all of Britain. It is a habitational-type surname, meaning that it would have originally been bestowed upon a person or persons who lived in or near Fenwick, a place which can be found in the West Riding of Yorkshire, as well as Northumberland. The name itself derives from the Old English-language words meaning "marsh" and "dairy farm". So the earliest proud bearers of the Fenech family name would have lived in a marshy area that had a dairy farm.
