Origin and meaning of Finn
Finn comes from the Irish Fionn, 'fair, blond, bright' — the name of the legendary hero Fionn mac Cumhaill, star of Ireland's mythological cycles. The name evokes brightness, light and valour. Short and punchy, it is now very popular in Germany, the Netherlands, Scandinavia and of course Ireland and the UK, where the taste for short names has revived it. It sounds fresh, decisive and modern, yet carries ancient roots.
