Old photograph of the parish church and cemetery in Fyvie, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Fyvie Church was built in the early 19th century, and stands on an early Christian site. Fyvie was first used as a surname by descendants of the Pictish people of ancient Scotland. The ancestors of the Fyvie family lived in the barony of Fyvie in the county of Aberdeen. The surname Fyvie belongs to the category of habitation names, which are derived from pre-existing names for towns, villages, parishes, or farmsteads. The surname Fyvie was first found in Aberdeenshire, Gaelic: Siorrachd Obar Dheathain, a historic county, and present day Council Area of Aberdeen, located in the Grampian region of northeastern Scotland, where they held a family seat from very early times, some say long before the Norman Conquest in 1066 A.D.
