📖 About Fionnlagh
Fionnlagh is an ancient Scottish Gaelic name composed of fionn (fair/bright) and laogh (warrior), the original Gaelic form of Finley. Rooted in Celtic tradition, it evokes the ideal of the fair warrior touched by otherworldly light. The name spread across Scotland through highland clan culture before being anglicised to Finlay and Finley. Today it is treasured by those honouring its pure Gaelic origins.
