Ferrari is known around the world as an iconic brand, synonymous with game-changing performance and unparalleled elegance. But before 1939, “Ferrari” meant “Enzo Ferrari,” the founder of the brand and head of the Scuderia Ferrari racing team for Alfa Romeo. Although the Ferrari name has evolved to represent the pinnacle of automotive achievement, it’s also still a common name in Italy.
Ferrari comes from ferraro, meaning “blacksmith,” putting it on par with the English & American surname “Smith.” And much like “Smith,” the Ferrari name is quite common — it’s the third most common surname in Italy.
Scuderia Ferrari, meaning Ferrari Stables, is a fitting name for Ferrari’s racing division when you pair it with the logo of a prancing horse.
While the horse was and still is a stark, solid black, Ferrari placed it on a canary yellow background to represent his birthplace, Modena. The original Ferrari logo appeared for the first time in 1932 at the Grand Prix of Spa, and it was placed on the first vehicle produced by Ferrari as a standalone company in 1947 on the 125S.
