Notable individuals with the surname Fincher include the renowned filmmaker David Fincher, known for his work on films such as "Fight Club" and "The Social Network."
The Fincher surname has evolved over the centuries through various spellings, including "Finch," "Fink," and "Finker." Today, it remains a relatively uncommon but distinctive surname in Britain and beyond.
