Flynn
Meaning of Flynn
Flynn is a lively little spark of a name, born from the Irish surname Ó Floinn, meaning “descendant of the red-haired one.” Picture a copper sunrise over emerald hills, then add a dash of salsa—Flynn carries that mix of Celtic fire and Latin zest. Thanks to Hollywood swashbuckler Errol Flynn and Disney’s quick-witted Flynn Rider, the name feels forever ready for an adventure. In the United States it has danced steadily up the charts, especially since the 2010s, proving that short can still be bold. Flynn sounds crisp, travels easily, and wears a playful grin; he’s the kid scaling trees, the teen strumming a guitar, the adult who turns everyday moments into stories worth telling. Parents who choose Flynn are tipping their hats to courage, charm, and a life lived with corazón.
