Fenech
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are various interpretation to the origins of the surname Fenech. The most notable one is that Fenech means "rabbit", as fenek is rabbit in Maltese. Another variation is of the word Phoenicians. Infact some bearers of this surname herald the horse, a Phoenician symbol, on their crest rather than the rabbit. Another variation is an Anglo Saxon one where it is derived from a family living in Fenwick, which was in Northumberland and the West Riding of Yorkshire. This name was originally derived from the English fenn which means marsh and wic, which means a farm. Notable people called Fenech include:
- Edwige Fenech, an Italian actress and producer
- Jeff Fenech, a Maltese-Australian boxer
- Paul Fenech, a Maltese-Australian comedian
- Mario Fenech, a Maltese-Australian rugby league personality
- P. Paul Fenech, a British psychobilly artist
