+Lefébure
'''Lefebvre''' is a common French surname. It is also spelled '''[[Lefèvre]]''', '''LeFebvre''', '''LeFèvre''', and is used in the related forms '''Lefeuvre''', '''Lefébure''', '''Favre''', '''Faure''', '''Favret''', '''Favrette''' or '''Dufaure'''.
The name derives from "ferrum", the latin word for "iron", being originally a surname stating the profession of its bearer, literally a "[[Farrier|farrier]]" with its etymological cognate in the Italian "[[Ferrari]]". Many French surnames are used with the definite article as a prefix (Lefebvre, Lefèvre; archaic spellings are LeFevre, LeFèvre), with the partitive article as a prefix (Dufaure), or without article/prefix (Favre, Faure), but the meaning is the same.
