The name is possibly derived from the patronym Ó Fearghail (meaning "descendant of Fearghail", whose name means "man of valour"), however the anglicised forms of Ó Fearghail are principally O'Farrell and Farrell, and some genetic testing has found the Ferrell lineage to be genetically different from the Farrell lineage (see the Farrell DNA Project R-BY34900). Employees of a given immigration registry may have simply spelled Farrell incorrectly, however this would be an extensive case of systemic error, given the number of Ferrells in the US. The Ferrell name may have otherwise evolved from the surname Ferril, with a 1701 ship's passenger list noting one Jane Ferril's arrival in New York.
