Trinick Family History

Of uncertain origin; probably from a place-name with various possible places of origin but it is unclear where it arose. Trennick in Saint Clement is a possibility but apart from Nicholas Tretheneke 1543 in Subsidy Rolls (Saint Clement Cornwall) no example deriving from this place has been securely identified and it is even unclear whether his surname developed into Trinick.

Other possible place-name sources (e.g. Treneague in Saint Breock) require the stress to have shifted from the second to the first syllable and are therefore uncertain.
