Fontenay

Fontenay is a toponym used for several communes in France. The name, derived from Latin fontanus, meaning a fountain or spring, typically indicates a site associated with water.

Fontenay-le-Comte is a town in the Vendée department in western France. It has a historic center with medieval and early modern monuments.

The name Fontenay appears in other places and contexts across France. It is common for communes to be named Fontenay or to include Fontenay in compound forms, reflecting local water features. In maps and administrative references, Fontenay should be disambiguated by its department.
