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,[1] meaning "Sámi" or "Finn".[2] 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".[1] One of the related given names through Finnr is Finnur.[citation needed]
It is also occasionally a female given name.
