📖 Sobre Finbar
Finbar é um antigo nome irlandês derivado do gaélico Fionnbarra, com o significado de "de cabeça clara" — uma combinação de fionn (claro, branco) e barr (topo, cabeça). Está associado principalmente a São Finbar, o monge do século VI cujo mosteiro às margens do rio Lee deu origem à cidade de Cork. Embora pouco difundido fora da Irlanda e da sua diáspora, o nome carrega um profundo sentido de herança celta e identidade gaélica.
