Feichín Origin and Meaning

The name Feichín is a boy's name.

Feichín is a masculine Irish name of ancient Gaelic origin, pronounced approximately as 'FEH-heen.' It represents the diminutive form of 'fiach,' meaning 'raven' in Irish. The name has deep connections to Irish religious history through Saint Feichín, a 7th-century abbot who founded several monasteries across Ireland. Despite its rich cultural heritage, Feichín remains relatively uncommon even within Ireland, making it a distinctive choice that strongly connects to Irish linguistic and spiritual traditions. The name carries connotations of wisdom and spirituality associated with both its saintly connection and the symbolic significance of ravens in Celtic mythology.
