Name Meaning
Scottish and English: possibly a habitational name from one or other of the Scottish places called Fintry in Stirlingshire and Aberdeenshire, and perhaps also Angus, with -s substituted for final -f or -th in the original Scottish forms and F- voiced to V-, but if so in unclear circumstances, and not in Scotland. The placename itself is of unexplained etymology.
English: perhaps a nickname from Middle English, Older Scots (a)venturous ‘adventurous’ (Old French aventuros). However, no medieval evidence for the name has yet been found, and the name in southern England and Scotland could be that in 1 above by migration.
