What does Finnegan mean?
3 syllablesOrigin: a surname

Finnegan is an anglicized form of the Irish surname Ó Fionnagáin, "descendant of Fionnagán," a name built on fionn, meaning "fair" or "white." It carries the same bright, fair-haired association as the more familiar name Finn.

Finnegan has a lively, storytelling charm to it — a name that suits a pet with a bit of Irish luck and a personality too big for a shorter name.
