Farrell

Meaning of Farrell

Farrell is a name wrapped in the green hills of Ireland and steeped in the proud legacy of the Ó Fearghail clan, where it first meant “man of valor”—a nod to courage, leadership and an unfading spirit. Pronounced FAIR-uhl, it balances a solid, two-syllable rhythm with a friendly warmth that feels both timeless and fresh. Though it’s never crowded the top of baby-name charts—hovering pleasantly in the 900s in recent U.S. rankings—its gentle rarity only adds to its charm, like discovering a shining pebble on a favorite woodland path. Parents who choose Farrell are gifting their son a name that quietly inspires confidence, adventurous hearts and a sense of rooted strength.
