Origin & History

An Occitan and southern French occupational surname from 'faure', derived from the Latin 'faber', meaning 'craftsman', specifically a blacksmith or metalworker. It is the southern French equivalent of the northern 'Lefèbvre' or 'Ferrand', reflecting the linguistic divide between the langue d'oïl (north) and langue d'oc (south) of medieval France.
