The word is preserved in Northern English and Scots place names (the Yorkshire Dales, Airedale, etc.) and became a surname before transitioning to a given name in the twentieth century. It carries the landscape associations of pastoral English geography.”
Ferne
“A variant spelling of Fern, from the Old English fearn, the name of the flowerless woodland plant (class Pteridophyta). Fern was adopted as a feminine given name in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as part of the fashion for nature-derived names. The -e ending of Ferne gives it a slightly more antique or romantic visual quality, consistent with the style of names like Blanche, Grace, and Flore in the same era.”
