The surname Fender, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that can be traced back several centuries. The name is derived from the Old English word "fenn," which means "marsh" or "fen." This suggests that the original bearers of the surname may have lived near or worked in marshy areas.
The Fender name was first found in County Limerick, Ireland, where the family was established during the medieval period. Over time, the Fenders spread to other parts of Ireland, including counties Cork and Kerry, and some members of the clan eventually migrated to other countries, such as the United States and Canada.
Throughout history, the Fender name has undergone various spelling variations, including Fennor, Fennis, and Fenner. These changes in spelling occurred due to factors such as illiteracy and the influence of different dialects. Today, the most common spelling of the surname is Fender.
Notably, the name Fender is also associated with the musical instrument company Fender Musical Instruments Corporation. Leo Fender, the founder of the company, was of German descent, and his surname is unrelated to the Irish Fender surname.
In summary, the history of the Irish surname Fender dates back centuries and is connected to the word "fenn," meaning marsh. The name originated in County Limerick and later spread throughout Ireland and beyond. The Fender name has had various spelling variations and should not be confused with the unrelated surname of the founder of Fender Musical Instruments Corporation.
