Feroe is used as a family name or surname in Ireland, England. It is 5 characters long in length.
The surname is form of Pharaoh. This name is borne by a Gipsy tribe, who believe themselves representatives of the great Egyptian dynasty! As per historian Ferguson's remark: "I remember meeting with it in a secluded nook of the Lake district, and wondering much how the king of Egypt had found his way into our quiet valleys. But releasing the name from the associations of the spelling, it is nothing more than the old German name Faro. This our ingenious author connects with the Anglo-Saxon fara, and Old Norse fari, a traveller-not, after all, a bad name for a nomade of Gipsy blood.
Variant form of Farrow. Dweller at the sign of the boar or pig.
