Origin of Vange

Inherited from Middle English Vange, from earlier Fange, from Old English Fengge, probably from fenn (“fen”) + -ġē, -gēa (“district”). The development of Old English -eng- to -ang- and initial fricative voicing are features of Essex Middle English that have otherwise been levelled out due to the influence of surrounding dialects.
