Ferrer

Ferrer is an affectionate gender-neutral name that originated from the Catalan word 'Ferro'. Ferrer is a popular surname in the Catalan language of Spain, and it means 'blacksmith', given in honor of Saint Vicente Ferrer, a 14th-century missionary and the patron saint of builders. Aside from its Catalan origin, Ferrer also has German, English, Hungarian, and Portuguese roots. The German form of Ferrer is 'Faber' meaning 'craftsman'; its English form, 'Farrey' means 'to take someone to a faraway place'; 'Faro' is its Portuguese form meaning 'handsome servant'; while its Hungarian form is 'Feri'. The first family to adopt the name Ferrer as a surname was The Ferrers in the 1500s. The Ferrers own La Freixendeda, an 11th-century farming estate outside Barcelona, Spain. One of the most accomplished members of the Ferrer family was Juan de Ferreras y García, a Spanish priest who later became a founding member of the Royal Spanish Academy in 1713 under King Philip V of Spain. After the Spaniards conquered the Philippines from 1565 to 1898, the name Ferrer became widely adopted, and variations like Ferrara, Farreres, and Ferreira were used. To the conquered Filipinos, people who bore Ferrer were driven by their pride and numerous talents and tried many things in life before making a concrete decision, but to the Spaniards, the Ferrer name conveyed enthusiasm and cheerfulness, living life without regrets, and being able to read others feelings.
