Hi, Ferlandy!
Unfortunately you don't tell anythimg about the possible background of your name. So let me goof around a bit:
FERN/FARN is an element of various English surnames (Farnham, Farnfield …). Now FERN + LAND makes sense, but what happened to the N?
FERR- refers to an iron smith.
My first association when I read your name was: FERNANDO. But again: How did N become L? - Here ROLAND might help: HROUDNAND is said to be the (ore one) original form of this name. Later the second element was assimilated to "land".
I have no idea of how and when something similar might have happened to Fernand (the first element here being either Old Nordic "ferthu" [voyage] or "fridu" [peace]), but maybe somebody else does.
I'm afraid this doesn't really help much. Maybe you tell us more about your background.
