Finn (given name)

Finn is a unisex(but 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 "Sámi" or "Finn". 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". One of the related given names through Finnr is Finnur.

It is also occasionally a female given name.
