About Ferran

A Catalan variant of Ferdinand, Ferran holds appeal as more concise form with that same adventurous, travel-inspired meaning, but without the association of Ferdinand the Bull (which puts some off the longer, Germanic form).

Notably borne by footballer Ferran Torres García, chef Ferran Adria, and by social media star Ferran Espada, the name was in the Top 200 in Spain across the 2010s. In the US, it has quietly been receiving more attention, given to 25 boys in a recent year, compared to 5 a decade earlier.

Ferran is also given to girls.

Pronounced fer-AHN.

As of October 2026, Ferran ranked #4170 for boys in US births in 2025 and #17401 for girls in US births in 2014 SSA, peaked at #7976 for girls in 1986.
