The Ferret Surname
According to Ancestry.com
"Sorry, we couldn't find a name meaning for the Ferret last name. Try using an alternate form of the name, or a different last name."
See links for alternate surnames (I'm translating from French) This name is often found in the Loire Valley, the Vendée and in the Tarn. It is a nickname related to the word 'fer' (iron) which could be interpreted in several ways: either for someone who made objects from iron (arms or 'ferrets' which were in the Middle Ages a kind of decorative nail) or someone who was hard (character) as iron or who had grey hair (the colour of iron). I must add that Cap Ferret is a place name on the French Atlantic coast. Other forms of this name are Feré, Feray, Ferey, Fert http://www.123genealogie.com/nom-de-famille/ferret.html
