Question:

Is "fahrni" a swiss german last name?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Fahrni is a Swiss German last name. There are about 1700 entries for this name in the Swiss Phone directory. I found records of 19 Swiss nationals with this last name who immigrated to the United States between 1905 and 1922. (www.swissroots.org)

Fahrni is also the name of a small village in the canton of Berne. www.gemeinde-fahrni.ch. It could well be that the origin of the name is related to this village. Probably people from there got this last name.
