Fergus (name)
Fergus or Feargus is a popular Irish, Manx and Scottish given name. The former form is the Old Irish spelling and the latter the Anglicised form of the modern Fearghus or Fearghas, meaning "man-strength" or "virility".〔Old Irish ''fer'' (modern Irish ''fear''), "man"; Old Irish ''gus'', "force, vigour, impetuosity, fierceness" (modern Irish "courage, grit, initiative, self-assurance").'' Dictionary of the Irish Language'', Compact Edition, 1983, pp. 299-300, 373; ''Collins Pocket Irish Dictionary'' pp. 472, 497〕 As a surname, MacFhearhgais was Anglicised into Ferguson or Fergusson and this surname spread across Scotland but particularly in Ayrshire and Perthshire. The surnames Ferguson and Kerruish (from the genitive MacFhearghais) derive from it. In Ireland, the Ferris family of County Kerry derives its surname from the patronymic Ó Fearghusa. ==Given name==
