Where this word comes from
Inherited from Middle English Ferye on the Hill, for earlier Ferie, Feregenne (perhaps to distinguish it from Ferrybridge), from Anglian Old English fergen (“wooded mountain”), from Proto-West Germanic *fergunī, from Proto-Germanic *fergunją. For the phonological development, compare eerie and dialectal swally (“to swallow”).
