Well done, Chop. Or you could have just read the translation in the original article.

"Out blood is of iron."

Where's the fun in that? According to the online translator (and like Wiki, is never wrong) that translates as;

Sicco cruor est ferrarius

Any latin experts here? Hommage.

It helps that I have the correct spelling on the first word now in my searches .

This is odd . Sanguineo is spanish, so how did the writers get that he is Swiss?

I knew ferris refers to iron as it must have some tie to ferrum or Fe. One cool fact about Iron or I should say "pure iron" is that it's softer than aluminium. Not something I think that Ironblood would have choose knowing that fact, but I don't think the writers cared .

Humans have a high concentration of iron in their blood, might have something to do with it.

Sanguino is also Latin, like English, Spanish may have a few adopted words or terms to i guess.
