Name Meaning
English: from Middle English spyn(n)eye ‘spinney’ i.e. a small patch of woodland, clump of trees (Old French espinei ‘place where thorn trees grow’). The surname may be topographic, for someone who lived by a thicket or small copse, or habitational, from a place so named, such as Spinney Abbey in Wicken (Cambridgeshire).
