Farin Family History

Farin Surname Meaning

Catalan: Castilianized form (Farín) of Farí unexplained. This surname is very rare in Spain; it is also found in the Philippines. French: diminutive of Fare.

German: unexplained. Finnish: variant of Faarinen which is possibly from vaari ‘grandfather’ with the addition of the surname suffix -nen. The surname Faarinen was first recorded in the beginning of the 18th century in the Torne Valley.

It was shortened to Farin under the influence of Swedish surnames formed with the suffix -in (compare 5 below). Swedish: ornamental name from an unexplained first element + the adjectival suffix -in a derivative of Latin -in(i)us ‘relating to’.

This surname is very rare in Sweden and may actually be of Finnish origin (see 4 above). Muslim (Bangladesh): from the personal name Farīn which is of Persian origin from a word meaning ‘wise intelligent’.
