Finton is a name of Irish origin, meaning "white fire" or "fair-haired". It is derived from two Gaelic words - fionn, meaning "fair" or "white", and tine, meaning "fire". The name has been in use in Ireland for centuries, and is associated with a number of notable figures in Irish history and mythology. In recent years, Finton has become a popular name for boys in Ireland and the United Kingdom.
The pronunciation of Finton is typically "FIN-ton" or "FYN-ton", with the emphasis on the first syllable. The name is most commonly given to boys, although it can also be used as a unisex name. Finton is often shortened to Finn, which has become a popular name in its own right. The name has a strong and distinctive sound, and is well-suited to parents looking for a unique and meaningful name for their child.
The components of the name Finton - fionn and tine - are both significant in Irish mythology. Fionn mac Cumhail was a legendary hero and leader of the Fianna, a group of warriors in Irish folklore.

The combination of these two elements in the name Finton creates a powerful and evocative name that is deeply rooted in Irish history and culture.
