Fionnualagh

Fionnualagh is a feminine name of Irish origin and a variant of Fionnuala. This lyrical name is linked to Irish folklore and mythology. Fionnuala was one of Lir’s children who was turned into a swan for 900 years. (This heart-tugging legend may have served as inspiration for Shakespeare’s King Lear.) A blend of the roots fionn and gúala, Fionnualagh means “white shoulder” or “fair shoulder,” likely describing someone as “blonde.” With a name like Fionnualagh, your little swanling may be encouraged to spread their wings and fly!
