Fionnghall
fi(o)-nngha-ll,
fion(n)-ghall
Origin:Scottish
Meaning:White shoulder, fair shoulder
If you’ve been dreaming of a blonde-haired baby, there couldn’t be a more fitting name than Fionnghall. This gorgeous moniker is the Scottish Gaelic form of Fionnuala, a feminine title with ties to Irish mythology. In the Irish language, the word fionn means “white” or “fair.” When fionn intertwines with gúala, another Irish word meaning “shoulder,” Fionnghall and Fionnuala translate to “white shoulder” or “fair shoulder.” While your little one’s blonde locks will take some time to reach their shoulders, their name could symbolize the fair features that will set them apart. Additionally, the medieval Irish legend, The Children of Lir, tells the story of four children who were transformed into swans. One of these children was called Fionnuala, making Fionnghall a lovely nod to your Irish heritage.
