As a name, it is a regal Scottish and Irish choice, riding the wave of stylish Finn names. Joining Finnegan, Finnick, Finnian, and 'just' Finn, this name was chosen for celebs Chris O'Donnell , Angie Harmon and Jason Sehorn. Meaning "fair-haired hero", it was traditionally spelled Fionnlagh and was historically borne by the father of the 11th-century Scottish king, Macbeth (who was partly the inspiration behind the Shakespeare play).
 <br/Finlay is another, much less popular spelling, which tips more decidedly boyward, and is the favored option in Scotland where it ranked at #11 in a recent year.
