Meaning: White shoulder, fair shoulder

Connect baby to some classic folklore through the name Fionnaghuala. This feminine name has links to the Irish names Fionnghuala or Fionnuala, translating to “fair shoulder” or “while shoulder.” Whether or not baby has light or fair features running in their family, this moniker can be a great choice if they’ve got connections to the Emerald Isle. In Irish mythology, Fionnghuala is one of the Children of Lir, who were transformed into swans by their jealous stepmother for 300 years. If you’ve got a love for age-old myths—the happy and the macabre—and want to share that passion with your little one, Fionnaghuala can make for a great introduction.
