Finly

Finly is a feminine name (though sometimes used for boys) with Scottish and Irish Gaelic roots. It's a variation of Finley, derived from 'fionn' (fair, white) and 'laogh' (warrior or hero), meaning 'fair warrior.' This spelling variant gives the traditionally masculine name a softer, more feminine appearance. Finly represents the growing trend of adapting surnames and traditionally male names for girls. The name has a crisp, modern sound while maintaining Celtic heritage connections.
