Origin of Arab, Meaning of Arab
Origin: From what I've heard, the name Farabaugh didn't exist until fairly recently when a couple brothers moved from Germany to Pennsylvania sometime between 1850 and 1857. The two brothers, that I know of, that moved to Cambria Co, PA were Augustin and Michael. Before they called themselves Farabaugh's, they called themselves Fehrenbacher's.
