Fancher Family History
Fancher Name Meaning
Probably a variant spelling of French Fanger.It
could alternatively be an altered form of English Fanshaw,
which Reaney believes to be a habitational name from Fanshaw Gate,
near Holmesfield, Derbyshire. However, the earliest records of the
place name, le Faunchalle-gate (1456, 1472, etc.), indicate
that the place takes its name from the Faunchall or Fanshaw family and
not the other way about. Further, the early form of the surname
suggests a French origin.
