Joy, happiness, or a wild donkey
Ferrah is a rare variant of the Arabic name Farah, which translates to joy or happiness. In some English contexts, it is also considered a variant of Farrah, which can derive from Middle English roots referring to a wild donkey or ironworker. It gained some visibility in the US due to its phonetic similarity to the iconic name Farrah.
