Ferrell is an English surname of Irish origin.[1]
The name may be derived from the patronym Ó Fearghail (meaning "descendant of Fearghail", whose name means "man of valour").
If this is so, it would be another version of the names Farrell, O'Farrell, and Farrall, in that they are anglicized forms of the Gaelic patronym Ó Fearghail. See also O'Ferrall.
