FIREBRACE: The extinct baronet family, whose pedigree ascends only to the XVII. cent., seem to have had a tradition of a Norman origin (Burke's Ext. Barts.), and the name is said to signify fier-bras, "bold or stout arm," like our indigenous Armstrong and Strong i' th' arm. The H.R. form, Ferbras, is suggestive of "Iron-arm."
