[abdul1up]

Hi guys! I was curious and wanted to ask a question to see if anyone with more knowledge could help. My name is Abdul Farfan. I was adopted at a young age. I don't know much about my brith parents.I was adopted by an Arab Yemeni family! I was told my birth father was Armenian and my birth mother was a Mexicani. They both met in Texas. I have never met anyone with the name Farfan that's Armenian or Mexican. I was told my birth father was Armenian. So I've always thought I'm half Armenian. My adopted parents have always taught meits important toknow your history and to be proud! And I am proud to say I'm Armenian Mexican!!! But if anyone could help and identify is Farfan a known name for Armenians?

 

Thanks I hope to hear some good feed back

It sounds Arabic. Very little info. Here is one that may explain.

One name that repeatedly comes up is Jefferson Farfan, a Peruvian football player.

Last name origins & meanings:

 

 

Spanish: probably from farfán, a term denoting one of a group of Spaniards who went to Morocco in the 8th century; there they retained their Christian faith and in 1390 their descendants returned to Spain.

I've seen this too from many websites. It is very little info. I also found there's a English Farfan too in England. Lol with a family crest and moto. My arab parents toldme Farfan was influenced by arabic to the spanish language. But they weren't sure its an arabic word anymore. I've never met anyone with the Farfan that's arabic, mexican or armenian. Thanks for your help
