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

The distinguished Spanish surname Farrant is a proud sign of a rich and ancient heritage. The earliest forms of hereditary surnames in Spain were the patronymic surnames, which are derived from the father's given name, and metronymic surnames, which are derived from the mother's given name. Spanish patronymic names emerged as early as the mid-9th century; the most common patronymic suffix being "ez." The Farrant name is derived from the Spanish elements "faro," meaning "journey" and "nano, " meaning "brave."
