The surname Feicht was first found in Austria, where the name was closely identified in early mediaeval times with the feudal society which would become prominent throughout European history.
The name would later emerge as a noble family with great influence,
having many distinguished branches, and become noted for its
involvement in social, economic and political affairs. The name was
taken from St. Veit (in Latin, Vitus) who was the patron saint
protecting against fire and lightning.
The Feicht family name
was found in the USA, and Canada between 1880 and 1920. The most
Feicht families were found in USA in 1880. In 1880 there were 42
Feicht families living in Ohio.
