The surname Fenocchi, it is very rare, has been circulated in the area between Milan and Pesaro, with greater presences in the Lodigiano (Lodi), modenese (Modena) and pesarese (Pesaro).

Fenocchio is typical of the Piedmont and western Savonese (Savona), with branches in addition cremonese (Cremona) and bresciano (Brescia).

Fenoglio is specific to the western Italy, Turin's Piedmont (Turin) and cuneese (CN).

Fenoglietto is typical of Turin (Turin) and particularly Foglizzo (Turin).

Fenogli and Fenoglietti possible nicknames arising from home and medioeval that originate in places of cultivation Finocchio (Fennel).

Indeed, the origin of these names are a variation of the name archaic or dialectical medioeval Finocchio which refers to the eponymous word of the plant and that most everything has a symbolic meaning (for a more thorough search of the origin of the name should be search by the surname Finocchio).
