What is the meaning of the name Farre ?

The baby name Farre is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈfɑːri/ (FAR-ee) — alternative pronunciations: /fɑːr/ (FAR) or /ˈfɑːrə/ (FAR-ə).

Farre is Irish, Scottish, Spanish in Origin.

Farre blends several onomastic streams. As a Catalan surname spelled Farré, it traces to Latin ferrum “iron” and ferrarius “smith,” paralleling Occitan/French Ferré; medieval records in Catalonia and Languedoc show the name borne by metalworkers. In English-speaking countries, Farre has been adopted in recent decades as a given name via the broader surname-to-first-name trend.

A second etymology comes from Persian farrah/farr, “glory, divine splendor,” yielding the given name Farreh; some families render this in Latin script as Farre. It also overlaps with Arabic Farah/Farrah, “joy.” Depending on origin, meanings include “ironworker; smith,” “glory,” or “joy.” Variants and related forms: Farré, Ferré, Farr, Farrar, Farrer, Farrey, Farreh, Farrah, and Ferrer. Usage today is rare and largely unisex, found in Catalonia, the Iranian diaspora, and Anglophone contexts.
