Ferguson (name)


Ferguson is an Anglicization of the Scots Gaelic "Macfhearghus", a patronymic form of the personal name Fergus which translates as son of the angry . Fergus derives from the Gaelic elements ‘fear’ and ‘gus’, thus meaning ‘man of vigor.’ While some poetic interpretations associate the name with anger or battle fury, this is not the primary etymological meaning.
