Ferguson (name)

Name list From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ferguson is an Anglicization of the Scots Gaelic "Macfhearghus", a patronymic form of the personal name Fergus which translates as son of the angry (one).[1] Fergus derives from the Gaelic elements ‘fear’ (man) and ‘gus’ (vigor or strength), thus meaning ‘man of vigor.’ While some poetic interpretations associate the name with anger or battle fury, this is not the primary etymological meaning.
