Thinking about the name
Finn
Irish origin
“From the Irish/Gaelic Fionn, meaning 'fair' or 'white,' Finn evokes both the legendary warrior Finn mac Cumhaill and the natural imagery of fairness. Short, punchy, and accessible, Finn combines mythological weight with contemporary brevity. The name has become a modern classic, popular worldwide while retaining its Irish roots.”
