Ferron
Meaning of Ferron
Ferron traces back to the Old French ferron, “ironworker,” ultimately rooted in the Latin ferrum for “iron,” a lineage that lends the name a quietly metallurgical undertone of resilience. In Anglo-American use it has functioned as a surname first and a given name second, its gender-neutral quality reinforced by Canadian folk singer Ferron and a scattering of historical bearers on U.S. birth ledgers. The Social Security records show periodic blips—never more than ten births in a single year and peaking at rank 536 in 1920—suggesting a name that hovers on the edge of familiarity without tipping into trendiness. Pronounced FER-ahn, it offers parents a compact, two-syllable choice that feels both sturdy and understated, a small alloy of tradition and rarity that resists the corrosion of passing fashions.
