Finn (given name)


Finn is generally regarded as a masculine given name. The name has several origins. In some cases it is derived from the Old Norse personal name and byname Finnr, meaning "Lapp" or "Finn". In some cases the Old Norse name was a short form of other names composed with this element. In other cases, the name Finn is derived from Irish, meaning "white" or "fair". In the latter case, the name is a later Irish variant of Fionn.
It is also occasionally a female given name, although this is less common.
