It rolls off the tongue, right? Perfect name for such a lovely car.
The Ferrari brand is named for the founder of the company, Enzo Ferrari.
Beyond that, it comes from “ferraro”, which means blacksmith, making it roughly on par with the American surname Smith. It’s just about as popular, as well—Ferrari is one of the most common last names in Italy.
