Farral is Irish in Origin.

Farral is a modern respelling of the Irish name Farrell, ultimately traced to the Gaelic personal name Fearghal/Fergal and the surname Ó Fearghail. The components fear "man" and gal "valor, bravery" yield the meaning "man of valor" or "courageous one."

As a surname, Farrell identified a prominent medieval clan in Annaly (now County Longford), later spreading widely through Anglicization and diaspora. The surname-to-given-name trend brought Farrell into use as a first name in the English-speaking world; Farral emerges more recently as a rare, streamlined variant and is sometimes treated as unisex. Close variants and spellings include Farrell, Farrel, Ferrell, Farel, and Pharrell; related Gaelic forms are Fearghal, Feargal, and Fergal, while the modern creative Faryl appears in some contexts. The name carries a forthright, martial tone tempered by a gentle sound, appealing to parents seeking Irish heritage with a distinctive twist.
