Finnin Origin and Meaning

The name Finnin is a boy's name.

Finnin is a rare masculine name with Irish roots. It appears to be a diminutive or variant form of the more common Irish name Finn or Fionn, which means 'fair' or 'white.' In Irish mythology, Fionn mac Cumhaill was a legendary warrior with supernatural wisdom. Finnin maintains the strong, Celtic feel of its root name while offering a distinctive ending that sets it apart. Despite its authentic Irish heritage, Finnin remains uncommon even in Ireland and other English-speaking countries, making it an excellent choice for parents seeking a name with traditional roots but unique character. Its soft ending balances the strong initial sound, creating a name that is both masculine and gentle.
