If Finn and Phineas make your heart skip a beat, you'll love their quirky brainchild Phinehas. This masculine respelling is rooted in Hebrew and Egyptian and means "the Nubian." The legacy of this name begins with the Nubian warriors of the Old Testament. Famed for their archery skills, they inspired Egypt's most ancient religious texts. Your darling Phinehas will share the Nubians' insatiable thirst for knowledge. Even with their nose in the books, they'll come up for air and shower you with kisses!
