The Fink Family

 

Name Origin: German, Jewish

The German surname Fink is first found in Austria.  Surnames evolved during the Middle Ages when people began to assume an extra name to avoid confusion and to further identify themselves.  Often they adopted names that were derived from nicknames.  Nickname surnames were derived from an added name.  They usually reflected the physical characteristics or attributes of the first person that used the name. 

The name Fink is a nickname type of surname for "a cheerful person who sings songs."  Further research revealed that the name is derived from the German word "fink", which means "finch", a type of small bird.

The Jewish name Fink derives from a variety of sources.  It is thought to have been an occupational name, deriving from the German word "finch" and would have been given to someone who sold finches.  Another possible origin is from the female given name Finkle.  It could also be an ornamental surname deriving from the Old German word "finkelstein" which means "diamond."  Lastly, the name could be derived from the Yiddish word "funk" which meant "spark".  The word "funkenstein" translates as "sparkle stone or diamond."

 

Spelling variations of this family name include: Fink, Finke, Finck, Fincke, Finckl (Bavaria), Finncke, Finkl, Finke and many more

                                       
The Fink family line merges with the Leslie/Lasley, Johnson and Goble family lines when Sarah "Sallie" C. Fink married James Q. Leslie/Lasley.  Their daughter Nancy Caroline Leslie married John Henry Johnson.  Nancy and Henry's daughter, Beulah Vernesta Jonson, married Martin Luther Goble.
