Farill is Irish in Origin.

Farill is a modern English given name most plausibly a streamlined respelling of the Irish surname Farrell, which derives from the Gaelic Ó Fearghail, “descendant of Fearghal.” The personal name Fearghal combines fear “man” and gal “valor, bravery,” yielding the sense “courageous man” or “valorous.” Some families also view Farill as echoing the French Reformation-era surname Farel, though the Irish root is the usual explanation.

Used as a first name since the late 20th century in Anglophone countries, Farill fits the surname-to-given-name trend and remains rare, sometimes chosen for a unisex, contemporary feel. Notable variants and cognates include Farrell, Farrel, Ferrell, Pharrell, Faryl, and the Gaelic forms Fearghal and Fergal. Short forms such as Rell occur. The name’s enduring appeal lies in its clear, compact sound paired with the time-honored meaning of bravery.
