About the Fage One-Name Study

A study of all records of the surname Fage, worldwide.

Variants

Le Fage. Le Fage

Origin of the surname

FAGE. Topographic name for someone who lived by a Beech Tree or Wood, or who had adopted the name from his Lord of the Manor or the estate where he lived. From the old French, beech, (Late Latin, Fagea, (arbour) a derivative).

FAGE. The action of flattery or coaxing or deceiveing, (circa 1421 Middle English Dictionary) ed. H Kurath, Sm Kuhn & J Reidy. (Obviously, that is your side of the family!)

Historical occurrences

Earliest Record, in the data base is John Fage 1284, Somerset Subsidy Rolls. (UK).

Data

I have well over 7,000 individuals recorded from all around the world, with over 65,000 text records. Originally primarily UK orientated, I am now collecting data from all over the world. Records for the U.S and Canada are by no means complete, as yet. I have many individual's records that need to be connected to their family trees.

Roughly two thirds of the records are for the UK, one dating back to the 13th cent, most from the 16th to date. There are Canadian and USA, records with well over 2,500 individuals. In some instances I have extensive trees for these countries. Other countries records include Australia,Spain, Germany, Mexico, Channel Islands, Prussia, Italy, Havana Cuba, Norway, Denmark, Chile and Romania

DNA project

The Fage DNA Project has just been established, the first and only one of its kind for the Fage family. This Project is expansive, welcoming all Fages worldwide and also all variants of the surname, such as La Fage, Le Fage, Feage
