Fergie
Boy name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Fergie: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2020.
A diminutive of Fergus, Fergie ultimately derives from the Gaelic *Fearghas*, meaning 'man of vigour' or 'super-choice'. This spirited name gained international fame through the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, universally known as 'Fergie', while her friend and fellow pop culture icon Fergie (Stacy Ann Ferguson) of the Black Eyed Peas brought it into modern music. The name shares its root with Fergusson, a common surname found across Scottish place names, including the village of Fergushill. Today, Fergie remains a friendly, approachable nickname rather than a standard given name, but its bold, lively energy still makes it a distinctive choice for parents seeking something unexpected with deep Scottish heritage.
