The name FLENOID is thought to be derived from the Old English words "flen" and "oid," which together translate to "dweller near the marshy meadow."

According to historical records, one of the earliest known references to the name FLENOID can be found in the Domesday Book, a monumental survey of England commissioned by William the Conqueror in 1086. The name appears as "Flennoit," likely a variation of the spelling used at that time.

Another notable bearer of the name was Sir William Flenoid, a knight who fought in the Third Crusade under King Richard I during the late 12th century (1189-1192).

In the 14th century, the name FLENOID gained prominence when Robert Flenoid (1312-1387) became a respected scholar and theologian at the University of Oxford. His treatises on philosophy and religion were highly influential during that era.

During the Tudor period, the name FLENOID was associated with a family of prominent merchants and traders based in the city of Bristol.
