Finnlea Origin and Meaning

The name Finnlea is a boy's name.

Finnlea is a masculine name with Irish and Gaelic roots. It combines the popular Irish name Finn (meaning "fair" or "white") with the suffix "-lea" which often relates to meadows or clearings in Celtic languages. This blend creates a name suggesting "fair meadow" or "white clearing." Finnlea represents a modern compound name that maintains strong Celtic connections while feeling fresh and contemporary. Though relatively uncommon, it has gained modest attention in the early 21st century as parents increasingly seek names with Irish heritage that aren't overly common. The name carries a gentle, nature-inspired quality while still providing the popular nickname option of Finn.
