Origin of Inch Total Records: 3  Origin of Inch, Meaning of Inch Origin: There is a book written by Alexander Winchell (1917) that gives the origin of the surname WINCHELL. It is quite legnthy (the origin, 50 pages). Surnames: Winchell Submitted by: Young Origin of Inch, Meaning of Inch Origin: south Alabama area circa 1830-1890 Surnames: Fincher Submitted by: Jabe Fincher Origin of Inch, Meaning of Inch Origin: Hinchliffe is geographical in origin and two minor place-names should be considered when we try to locate the source. There is, for example, a Hingcliff Scar in Bradfield in the South Yorkshire Pennines. Unfortunately there are very few references to this place and none at all before 1440. It might conceivably be the source of the family name but a much stronger case can be made out for the locality now known as Hinchliffe Mill.
