Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Meno Ferdinand pochádza zo starého germánskeho mena, ktoré sa zvyčajne vykladá zo zložiek farð, fardi („cesta, výprava“) a nanth, nand („odvážny, smelý“). Jeho význam možno preto vyjadriť ako „odvážny cestovateľ“ alebo „smelý na výprave“; výklad prvej zložky zo slova frithu („mier, ochrana“) je menej pravdepodobný.
