The surname Finch has a rich history, particularly among those of Irish descent. The name is believed to have originated from the Old English word "finch," which refers to the small bird known for its vibrant plumage and melodious song. Over time, this word became a popular personal name and eventually evolved into a hereditary surname.
In Ireland, the surname Finch can be traced back to the Anglo-Norman invasion in the 12th century.

Throughout history, the Finch family has been associated with various regions in Ireland, such as County Cork, County Dublin, and County Kilkenny. They were known for their involvement in politics, land ownership, and military service. The surname Finch also spread to other parts of the British Isles, including England and Scotland.
