What does Finn mean?
/ˈfɪn/1 syllableOrigin: Irish

Finn is an Irish name traditionally meaning "fair" or "white," historically referring to fair hair or a pale complexion. It's closely tied to Fionn mac Cumhaill, the legendary hunter-warrior of Irish mythology known for his wisdom and strength.

Finn is short, breezy, and full of energy, a name that suits an adventurous, quick-moving pet. It works especially well for a companion with a light or white coat.
