Ferron, decidedly Venetian, is specific to the area that includes the Veronese, especially Vicenza and Padua, present in particular in Grancona, Lonigo and Sarego in the Vicenza area and in Verona, Ferrone, quite rare, is specific to the area that includes Abruzzo, Molise, foggiano and northern Campania, Ferroni is common throughout the centronord, should derive from an accretive, even dialectal, form of the medieval name Ferrus of which we have an example in the Diplomatic Code of medieval Lombardy in the year 1175 in Milan: "... for feudum in loco and territory Moirago ab illis dominis de Berenzago, to which Ugoni ipse Ferrus succeeded in ipsum feudum ... ", we find traces of these surnames in Tuscany in the Massese in 1500, in a deed of sale, where a certain Rodolfo Ferroni buys a farm located in the people of S. Gervasio.
