Flynn

The name Flynn comes from Ireland and it is the anglicized version of the Irish surname Ó Floinn. Ó Floinn translates as ‘a descendant of the Flann’. Traditionally, in the Gaelic language, the word 'flann' is used to describe a person’s hair or complexion if it is a ‘ruddy', reddish colour. So, the meaning of the name Flynn can be understood as the 'son or descendant of a red-haired person”. The name Flynn can be found as far as the 10th century. Most famously, there was an Irish king called Flann Sinna, who was also known as Flann na Sionainne or Flynn of Shanon. Though more commonly a surname, Flynn has gained popularity in recent years. Flynn Rider was the love interest in Disney's hugely popular animated feature film, Tangled. Though it is more common in Australia and New Zealand, Flynn did not enter the top 1000 boys names in the United States until 2011.
