Finnian

Finnian is an Irish name derived from the Gaelic word 'finn', which means 'fair' or 'white'. It is a variant of the name Finn, which was borne by several Irish saints and mythological figures.

In Irish mythology, Finn mac Cumhaill was a legendary warrior and leader of the Fianna, a group of elite warriors. He was known for his wisdom, courage, and skill in battle.

The name Finnian has been popular in Ireland for centuries and has been used by several Irish saints and scholars, including St. Finnian of Clonard, who founded a famous monastic school in the 6th century.

Today, the name Finnian is still used in Ireland and has gained popularity in other English-speaking countries as well. It is often seen as a unique and stylish alternative to more common Irish names like Finn or Fionn.
