Where did the French Fabre family come from? What is the French Fabre family crest and coat of arms? When did the Fabre family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Fabre family history?

The surname Fabre is derived from the Old French word "fevre," which meant "a blacksmith;" as such, it was originally an occupational name for a smith, or metal worker. While the patronymic and metronymic surnames, those derived from the name of the father and mother respectively, were the most common form of a hereditary surname in France, occupational surnames also emerged during the late Middle Ages.
