Benche Family Crest & Name History

Some records give Bench; others give Benche. Both point to the same English family name. Its meaning, shared with Bench, is “One who lived at the ledge or terrace”.

• Regional accents shaped spellings long before dictionaries fixed them.
• The extra “e” in Benche is a spelling habit rather than a different name.
