Finn, the Anglicized and Old Irish form of Fionn, is derived from the Old Irish word finn, meaning "white" or "blessed." It was popularized by Fionn mac Cumhaill (Finn McCool in English), a central character in the Fenian Cycle of Irish mythology. Finn first appeared in the Social Security Administration's top 1,000 for boy names in 2000 before becoming one of the trendiest boy names in the United States. It has now been a top-200 boy's name every year since 2016 and has been used by countless celebrity parents, including "Beverly Hills, 90210" star Tori Spelling, "Wedding Crashers" actor Owen Wilson, YouTube celebrity Ned Fulmer and Cassidy Gifford, the daughter of former "Today" host Kathie Lee Gifford.
