 * {| class="wikitable"

! search terms !! number of results
 * Ferragut giant || 38,900
 * Ferragut Roland || 21,500,000
 * Ferragus giant || 231,000

 * Ferrau Orlando || 70,300
 * Ferrau Roland || 53,000
 * Ferracutus giant || 9,400
 * Ferracutus Roland || 9,570
 * }
 * The results clearly privileged the use of Ferragut over both "Ferragus" and the Italian (Ferrau, Ferraguto) and Latin (Ferracutus, Ferracute) forms (this, despite the fact that Thomas Bulfinch appears to use "Ferragus"). A merge to Ferragut thus made more sense.  NYArtsnWords (talk) 17:33, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Lack of etymology
Since our project is supposed to be encyclopedic, anyone visiting this article would expect to find an etymology of this name, but there isn't one in the current version of this article. Does it mean "sharpened iron" in Latin? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 00:49, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
