It's possible that when his family came over from Italy that, due to whatever circumstances, they 'Americanized' their name from Fieri to Ferry and he wanted to change it back. I have relatives (aunts, uncles) who've told us stories that they'd heard about that happening.


Ah, what's in a name anyway? I don't think his fans will like him any less.

I think that is exactly what happened. When my French grandmother's family immigrated to the US they changed their name to the English translation, their last name was Dechenes, which closely translates to oaks, so they changed their name to Oaks.
