The -brand in Ferdibrand's name is almost certainly 'sword', but there is some doubt over the initial Ferdi- element. It is clearly intended to mirror his father's name Ferdinand, and in that name it might carry the meaning 'journey', 'bold' or possibly 'peace'. Given that the rest of Ferdibrand's name apparently means 'sword', then 'bold' seems the more likely of these various alternative interpretations.
