Ferron is Spanish in Origin.

Ferron stems from Old French ferron, an occupational term for a blacksmith or ironworker, ultimately from Latin ferrum, "iron." It arose in medieval France as a surname identifying those who worked with metal, and is related to a cluster of Romance occupational names such as Ferrer (Catalan/Occitan) and Ferraro (Italian). As a surname it traveled widely with French influence, especially into Quebec and the broader Francophone world.

As a given name, Ferron is a modern, infrequently used choice in English- and French-speaking countries, following the broader trend of adopting surnames as first names. It reads principally masculine but is sometimes treated as unisex. Variant spellings and near-forms include Feron, Ferren, and Ferrin; Spanish-accented Ferrón appears in surnames. The core meaning - "blacksmith; one who works iron" - carries associations of strength, craft, and reliability, giving Ferron an understated, rugged appeal.
