Template:About Template:Infobox given name Ferdinand is a Germanic name composed of the elements {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} 'journey, travel', Proto-Germanic {{#invoke:Lang|lang}}, abstract noun from root {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} 'to fare, travel' (PIE {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} 'to lead, pass over'), and {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} 'courage' or {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} 'ready, prepared' related to Old High German {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} 'to risk, venture'.

The name was adopted in Romance languages from its use in the Visigothic Kingdom. It is reconstructed as either Gothic {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} or {{#invoke:Lang|lang}}. It became popular in German-speaking Europe only from the 16th century, with Habsburg rule over Spain. Variants of the name include {{#invoke:Lang|lang}}, {{#invoke:Lang|lang}}, {{#invoke:Lang|lang}}, and {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} in Spanish, {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} in Catalan, and {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} and {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} in Portuguese. The French forms are {{#invoke:Lang|lang}}, Fernand, and {{#invoke:Lang|lang}}, and it is Ferdinando and Fernando in Italian. In Hungarian both {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} and {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} are used equally. The Dutch forms are {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} and Ferry.

There are numerous short forms in many languages, such as the Finnish {{#invoke:Lang|lang}}. There is a feminine Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian form, {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} (in Italian also {{#invoke:Lang|lang}}).
