Etymology
"Ferumbras" is of French and Latin origin and likely means "wild-armed". It comes from the ferus meaning "wild" or "fierce", and the French bras, from the Latin brachium, meaning "arm".
"Ferumbras" is another name for "Fierabras" (meaning "brave-arm") who is a Saracen knight who appears in French legendary history.
Internally, it is likely Ferumbras III is named after a Ferumbras I (or Ferumbras II who is in turn named after Ferumbras I) whose history is unknown to us as he is not directly named by Tolkien, and is only assumed to exist as one of the unnamed "Eight Thains of the Took Line" based on titular numbering.
