No grammatical significance at all, but a historical one:

Names that begin with a double F are originally Welsh,

a single F being pronounced /v/, and a double F ('ff') being
pronounced /f/ in Welsh.

This is because Welsh has an alphabet of only 20 letters - although,
the Wikipedia article on the Welsh alphabet claims it has 28, which
is nonsense; it has 20 letters and 8 digraphs - one of those digraphs 
being 'ff'.
