Meaning & Story
An alternate spelling of Finn, from Irish meaning fair or white, and associated with the legendary Irish hero Fionn mac Cumhaill.
Fynn is Finn with a slightly more distinctive, modern spelling — the double-N swapped for a Y gives it a fresh look while keeping all the bright, Celtic energy of the original.
