Fursey

Fursey is a masculine name that comes from the Old English last name Forsey. Coming from the elements fyrs and haeg, it can translate to “furze island” or “furze-covered enclosure.” While it can connect baby to the bright yellow furze plant, also called gorse or ulex, it can also remind them to appreciate the beauty of nature. Fursey can also have Scottish connections, coming from the Old Gaelic name Fearsithe, meaning “man of peace,” and encouraging your little one’s calm, tranquil demeanor. In addition, Fursey may or may not come from the Latin word virtus, meaning “virtue,” and can connect baby to the Irish monk of the same name.
