Help[Surname] The name Brenchley
I have been searching for meaning of surnames,
Brenchley and Stephens. I know they both originate out of England, and Brenchley comes from Kent England, but that's as far as I've been able to get. Can anyone help?

Stephens is derived from the personal name Stephen, which means "crown" in Greek.
According to one of my books, Brenchly is from an English place name meaning "clearing belonging to Broenci". Don't know what Broenci means.
