Fionna
Girl name · 6 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Fionna: 6 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1987.
A graceful feminine form of the Gaelic Fionn, meaning “fair” or “white,” Fionna shares its roots with the more widely known Fiona, a name popularised by James Macpherson’s Ossianic poems in the 18th century. While historical bearers are scarce, the name has a lyrical, timeless quality, echoing the legendary Irish hero Fionn mac Cumhaill. In modern culture, the animated series *Adventure Time* introduced a female counterpart to Finn called Fionna, giving the name a playful, adventurous air. As a variant, Fionna offers a slightly softer, more distinctive alternative to Fiona, and its Celtic heritage makes it a natural choice for families with Scottish or Irish ties.
