Finn Origin and Meaning

The name Finn is a boy's name of Irish origin meaning "fair or white".

Finn is a name with enormous energy and charm, that of the greatest hero of Irish mythology, Finn MacCool (aka Fionn mac Cuumhaill), an intrepid warrior with mystical supernatural powers, noted as well for his wisdom and generosity.

While Finn is a distinctly Irish name, it's achieved astonishing international popularity in a diverse range of cultures. Along with all the English-speaking countries, Finn ranks in the Top 100 for baby boys in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, and Austria.

Finn was chosen by cool couple Christy Turlington and Ed Burns for their son, and also by Jane Leeves and Autumn Reeser. Played by Cory Monteith prior to his death, Finn Hudson was a prominent character on Glee.

Other up-and-comers in the same family: Finlay and Finley, Finian and Finnian, Finnegan and Finnigan, and, from Germany, Fynn. And then there are the Ph versions such as Phineas.
