Boy name · 5 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Findley has deep Scottish roots, evolving from the Gaelic *Fionnlagh*, meaning "fair warrior" or "white hero." The name was borne by Findley, a 16th-century Scottish clan chief of the Mackintoshes, known for his fierce loyalty. While not widely famous globally, the name shares a lineage with the more common Finlay, and both are tied to the Scottish clan MacFhionnlaigh. Place connections are subtle, though the name’s meaning echoes through locations like Finlaggan on Islay, an ancient seat of the Lords of the Isles. A notable variant is Finley, a popular spelling in modern Scotland, and the name has a quiet dignity, often chosen for its blend of strength and heritage.
