Finn
Finn comes from the Irish "Fionn," meaning fair, white, or clear. In Irish mythology, Fionn mac Cumhaill (Finn MacCool) was the legendary hunter and warrior who led the Fianna, the band of warriors who defended Ireland. His wisdom came from sucking his thumb after burning it on the Salmon of Knowledge. Finn entered the US top 1000 in 2000 and rocketed. It entered the top 200 in 2017 and continues to climb. The driver was the broader trend toward Irish names and the cultural visibility of Finn (the character Finn Hudson in "Glee," played by Cory Monteith) and Finn (the Stormtrooper in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," 2015, played by John Boyega). I find Finn has a brisk, slightly Irish quality — the single syllable is direct, and the "F" opening is firm. The doubled "n" gives it softness. Finn is one of the most successful Irish revivals of the 21st century. Finn is a male name of Irish origin that means "Fair, white". Brisk, Irish, and modern. The name sounds friendly. Finns tend to be energetic. US top 200 since 2017. Rapidly rising. Well-known people named Finn include Fionn mac Cumhaill (Irish myth), Finn Hudson (Glee character), Finn (Star Wars character), Finn (Irish name). Common variations and related forms of Finn include Fionn (Irish), Finley (related), Finlay (Scottish), Fynn (modern).
