Motorsports, champagne, and a particular shade of red might come to mind when you hear the name Ferrari. Associated with fast, flashy cars and motor racing, the name Ferrari derives from an Italian occupational surname.
 
Long before it was a luxury car manufacturer, Ferrari was given to blacksmiths, metalworkers, and metalsmiths, particularly those who worked with iron. It originates from the Latin word ferrarius which is also the origin of ferrum meaning "iron" (and why Iron is represented by Fe on the Periodic Table). 
 
Enzo Ferrari, the founder of car manufacturer, is of course a notable bearer, as is his son Piero Ferrari. As a given name, it is borne by American visual artist Ferrari Elite Sheppard and by Muay Thai fighter Ferrari Fairtex. 
 
In the last four decades, Ferrari has been used as a given name around 65 times in the US - and interestingly, nearly two thirds of those Ferraris were girls. Still, with Bentley, Cooper, and Ford in the Top 1000, perhaps Ferrari could make a cool choice for a love of motors.
