Meaning: “adventurous, bold journey”

Contração de Fernando, que também é uma contração de Ferdinando do latim Ferdinandus, que por sua vez veio do gótico Ferdinand. Possivelmente significa: "pronto/preparado para a viagem" (fardi "viagem" e nand "pronto"), ou ainda pode derivar de Firthunands (firthu quer dizer "paz", que em alemão é friede, e nands significa audaz. Dessa maneira, a tradução seria: "Aquele que se atreve a tudo para conservar a Paz".
