Furnald

While its exact roots aren’t clear, the masculine name Furnald could have been crafted in several different ways. Perhaps it’s a variant of Fernald, the English form of the French occupational last name Fernel. Meaning “blacksmith” or “ironmonger,” Fernald once described those who used metal to create and repair various items. Furnald could also stem from Farnell, a habitational title given to individuals who lived near a “fern hill.” As little Furnald grows up, they’ll build confidence and create their own community.
