==Etymology==
{{References}}
"Ferumbras" is of French and Latin origin and likely means "wild-armed". It comes from the ''ferus'' meaning "wild" or "fierce", and the French ''bras'', from the Latin ''brachium'', meaning "arm". It has also been suggested that the name may come from the Latin ''ferrum'' meaning "iron".
 
"Ferumbras" is another name for "Fierabras" (meaning "brave-arm") who is a Saracen knight who appears in French legendary history, who [[J.R.R. Tolkien|Tolkien]] must've been aware of.


Internally, it is likely Ferumbras III is named after a Ferumbras I (or [[Ferumbras Took II|Ferumbras II]] who is in turn named after Ferumbras I) whose history is unknown to us as he is not directly named by Tolkien, and is only assumed to exist as one of the unnamed "Eight Thains of the Took Line" based on titular numbering.
