Finja is a feminine name of Swiss and German origin. It's a rare respelling of three ancient monikers. The first is trendy Finn, which derives from Old Norse Finnr and Irish Fionn, meaning "white" or "fair." If baby has Hebrew roots, they can take inspiration from the biblical favorite, Joseph or Yehôsêph, meaning "Jehovah increases" and "Jehovah shall add." Lastly, Finja may take after the Swiss name Jaronas, which, in turn, comes from Greek Jerome, meaning "sacred name." It's no wonder that Finja is a popular choice in Switzerland, where Greece shares close relations and so many ancient languages beautifully intertwine. Baby will have a fascinating world of lore and literature to discover!
