Meaning:

Variation 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.

Surname Pharrow is variant form of Farrar. Probably a corruption of Fair-hair, answering tỏ Le Blond, Harfager, etc. In the Hundred Rolls ,we have Fayrher. In a document of the year 1555, a Norfolk incumbent is called John Fayrhawr, alias Farrar. Perhaps another form of Ferrers.

Is variation of the Farrow. Dweller at the sign of the boar or pig.
