Ferry is Dutch in Origin.
Ferry is a multicultural masculine name with two main roots. In Dutch and Frisian it serves as a familiar short form of Ferdinand, and it has modern use in the Netherlands (also seen in Indonesia through Dutch influence). In medieval northeastern France, particularly Lorraine, Ferry functioned as a regional form of Thierry; several Dukes of Lorraine bore it. In the English-speaking world it appears rarely as a given name, more often a surname that could be occupational (ferryman) or from Irish Ó Fearadhaigh.
As a pet form of Ferdinand, Ferry carries the meaning “bold voyager” or “adventurous traveler” (from Germanic far “journey” + nand “brave”). As the Thierry form, it means “ruler of the people” (theud “people” + ric “ruler”). Variants and cognates include Ferdi, Ferdy, Feri; Ferdinand, Fernando, Hernando; and, on the Thierry line, Thierry, Terry, Derek, Dietrich, and Dirk.
