Ffrench

Ffrench or ffrench is a relatively rare surname found in Ireland, a variant of the name French.

The name originated in France and was brought by the Normans, who landed in Bannow Bay, County Wexford, Ireland in 1169.

According to Surname DB the original name is of Early Medieval English and Norman origin.

In some rarer cases, the name does not start with an initial capital, but with a lower-case f; see Word-initial ff.

Part of the family branch is considered to be one of the "Tribes of Galway", having been there since the 13th century.
