He was born on August 18, 1887, in the village of Vokopole in the southern part of Berat County now known as the Dimal municipality, then part of the Ottoman Empire. Born into the Vokopola family with the same name as their place of origin, this makes Ferid a relative to Ilias Vrioni (and his son Jusuf Vrioni) who maternally is from Vokopole and the Vokopola family, his mother's name being Hysnije Vokopola. The Vokopola family were landowners that had their chifliks in the surroundings of Vokopolë. In the early 19th century, his family moved to the city of Berat, where he completed his elementary schooling.
