- Source: Finley (name)
Finley is both a surname and given name. Its meaning is of Scottish origin, from the Gaelic personal name Fionnlagh (Old Irish Findlaech), composed of the elements fionn "white", "fair" (see Finn) + laoch "warrior", "hero", which led many people believe that has been reinforced by an Old Norse personal name composed of the elements "finn" ("Finn") + "leikr" ("fight", "battle", "hero").
Finley is a popular given name both in the United States and the United Kingdom. It is in use for both boys and girls in the United States. It has been more common for boys than girls in the United Kingdom. As of 2017 the name is no longer associated especially with fair-headed people. The name is popular with persons of many ethnic and cultural backgrounds.
