| The boy name Fearghas [ syll. fea-(r)(g)has, fe-argh-as ] is used predominantly in Irish and Scottish. Its origin is Celtic. The name Fearghas means man of vigor. Derived from the words 'fear' which means man ; 'gus' which means choice; vigor, strength. The name was borne in Irish legends by a warrior prince who was also the grand father of Saint Columba. The name was formerly used mainly by the Irish and Scottish, but its use has since broadened to other English speakers. The name is Anglicized as Fergus. The name Fergus (English and Irish) is a variant of Fearghas. Fearghas is not often used as a baby boy name. It is listed outside of the top 1000.
