Ferreira is actually more proto-Celtic.
The name come from the Italian town of "Ferrera" which was an iron-age Celtic settlement.
Variations of the name [Ferrera, Ferrer, Ferrara, Ferrar, etc] appear all over greater Europe and the UK, wherever the Celtic tribes settled.
The meaning of the name is literally "blacksmith" or "iron worker" and was "Latinized" by the Romans in the same way that my surname was.
It's hubby's surname and his people came from Sicily.
He does not look "Italian".
His mother was of Portuguese stock.
He has nearly black auburn hair and blue eyes and is by far "whiter" than I, a Scots-Irish/Welsh mongrel.
[My skin is gold-toned like the Welsh though I have green eyes, red hair and freckles]
Even with her ancient Celtic roots, I detest the tart....:))

Yeah well either can we, and don't let us keep you!
