Finn (given name)
Name list
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Finn is a masculine given name.[1][2] The name has several origins. In some cases it is derived from the Old Norse personal name and byname Finnr,[3] meaning "Sámi" or "Finn".[4] In some cases the Old Norse name was a short form of other names composed with this element (Thorfinn). In other cases, the name Finn is derived from the Irish Fionn, meaning "white" or "fair".[3] One of the related given names through Finnr is Finnur.[citation needed]
It is rarely used as a female given name.[5]
