Is Fonda an English or French name?

Actually it is Italian in origin. Over the course of a few centuries the Fondas went from Italy, to Spain, to Holland and finally to North America. Until the late Henry Fonda decided to become an actor, all of the Fonda men chose the military for a career and most of them were named Henry or Adam.
