Name Root:
*WINDOS > FIND > FIONN LAOGH > FIONNLAGH
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Proto-Celtic and Irish (Gaelic) “Fionnlagh,” composed of two elements: “*windos > find > fionn” (white, fair) plus “laogh” (warrior). In turn, the name means “fair warrior, a loyal warrior in battle.” Fionnlagh Maccailein was a medieval Scottish bishop. Both his early life and the details of his career as bishop of Dunblane are not well known; however, it is known that he held the latter bishopric between 1403 and his death in 1419.
