Finn
Featured in baby name books
Finn is an Irish name meaning “fair” or “white.” It honors Fionn mac Cumhail, legendary leader of the Fianna, who in folklore built the Giant’s Causeway as part of a challenge to his Scottish rival. Finn can also mean “from Finland.” Short and plucky, Finn recalls Huck Finn and also works as a short form of Finlay or Finnegan.
