== History and ancestral house(s) == The use of family name Fenrich was firstly attested at the beginning of the 16th century, replacing an older Middle High German form Fenner and the Alemannic form Venner. The name Fenner, however, can be traced back to a Celtic tribe Fen, originally from Austria, that began to spread throughout Europe giving rise to Fenrichs' ancestral houses Fenner and Venner (in French also Venour). Sir William Fenner and Baron La Venour are recorded in the Domesday Book, which was a record of all the landowners in England, as ordered by king William in 1086.
