Finley Family History
Finley Name Meaning
Scottish: from the Gaelic personal name Fionnlagh (Old Irish
Findlaech), composed of the elements fionn ‘white’,
‘fair’ (see Finn) + laoch ‘warrior’, ‘hero’, which seems
to have been reinforced by an Old Norse personal name composed of the
elements finn ‘Finn’ + leikr ‘fight’, ‘battle’, ‘hero’.
