What Is The Male Form Of Fiona?

Seriously though what's the best Shrek film?

Shrek 2

Shrek 2 but 4 is pretty close

My name is Fion (no double n) and pronounced like Finn, although most of my friends pronounce it the obvious way to avoid confusion with another friend called Finn. I'm pretty sure my version is of Scottish Gaelic origin but I'm not 100% sure and I think my parents don't really know either. I've never met anyone else with the name Fion or Fionn it's interesting to hear that Fionn is popular in Ireland.

[@donnykafkaesquianis7518]

Most people I've met know the name Fionn from Fionn MacCool

[@gerardacronin334]

Fionn of course! Ask any Irish person!

[@arikwolf3777]

I learn the name Fiona from the show _Burn Notice._ She was often addressed as Fi. Fiona Glenanne was play by Gabrielle Anwar and, yes, the character's background is Irish.

[@carschmn]

Fiona Apple the musician?!

[@dariuszenthoefer3758]

This video Patrick's lookin' sharp, I like seeing all the different styles he puts on, from dishevelled painter a couple weeks ago to snazzy professor of this one, it's always fun

[@MatthewSchooley94]

When I saw this vid's title, I instantly thought "Finn." I'm surprised there was no mention of Adventure Time.

[@popsab25]

Pro tip : If you call your son Fion, I highly recommand not putting him in a french school. Ever.

I was thinking Finn, as in the kid from Adventure Time. There is the Canadian Singer Fiona from the 1980s, and the American singer Fiona Apple.

[@storyspren]

Just so happens I have heard of the name Fionn, from the OSP video on Fionn mac Cumhaill :D Did not make the connection to Fiona though, somehow :p

[@unknownentity4620]

Same!

[@spore67]

I knew the male version cause of adventure time. Where Finn the human is Fiona in the gender swap universe

[@SuprousOxide]

Also the singer Fionna Apple

Finn; even Adventure Time knows this.

[@FoggyD]

Looking dapper there, Patrick! You're almost in danger of coming across as authoritative while you remind us how old Shrek 1 is. Here in Wales, 'Ffion' is generally considered a girl's name.

[@AlirioAguero2]

There are some names that seemingly don't have an equivalent in an opposite gender. For example - Elizabeth, Margaret, Jennifer, Jill, Carmen, Sofia, Alice, Nancy, Yvette, ect. don't seem to have a male equaivalent I'm aware of; David, James, Roger, Trevor, Colin, Jared, Xavier, Vincent, ect. don't seem to have female equivalents I'm aware of. However, I know that in some cases the opposite names are just very rare, or have transformed in time in a way that doesn't seem obvious at all (like Spanish Simon and Ximena).

[@mariosportsmaster7662]

Vincent (the Italian version Vincenzo) could have Vincenza and Colin has Colleen/Coleen

[@AlirioAguero2]

@@mariosportsmaster7662 Yes, I missed Coleen! Bravo! Thanks for pointing out Vincenzo and Vincenza. I haven't heard of Vincenta in English, but in Italian it totally works. I'm sure I missed more.

[@FoggyD]

Isn't the male version of Yvette simply 'Yves'? And a female equivalent of David would be 'Davina'.

[@AlirioAguero2]

@@FoggyD Yves and Yvette? Perhaps. It would be interesting to know. Never heard of Davina, but it just proves that there might be some less frequent names which are equivalents. (It might indeed be the case here.)

[@jahirareyes1102]

Jill is a Short form of Gillian a, Medieval English feminine form of Julian.The masculine form of Sofia is Sophus. The closest male form of Elizabeth there is is Elijah.Alice is related to Adelaide ,it is a shortened form of Adelaide infact,the closest male form would be Adel,i think. Nancy,is a diminutive of Ann.The male form of Ann would be Ananias .The Feminine form of James,i think would be Jacqueline or Jamesina .

[@Jan_Koopman]

Now that you said it, Finn being the male version of Fiona actually makes sense. Whenever I hear or see the name Finn, I immediately think of FN-2187 "Finn" from Star Wars #VII-IX. Hate me all you want, fanbase, but I actually liked Finn and the sequals. Granted, there weren't *good*, but they were enjoyable.

[@MuriKakari]

Except for Kylo Ren, the new characters were fine. How they used them was the stupid part.

[@Jan_Koopman]

@@MuriKakari, that's fair: they had so much potential, especially Finn! But they didn't use it!

[@emmag9890]

My suggestions for names you could do next include Dylan or Diana.

[@finley4275]

I always took it to mean fair haired, but maybe I’m biased as a Finley

[@Illumisepoolist]

Another Fiona is the genderbend version of Finn from Adventure Time .

[@latimertennyson6786]

I think if I am going to start studying Irish, I think my irish name will be Fionn

[@brianedwards7142]

Now i'm thinking of that time on Adventure Time where Finn took off his hat and shook out his long wavy blonde locks in the breeze complete with slow mo and s*xy music.

[@termeownator]

Is it Feanor?

[@ThSkBj]

Took me about 2 sec after reading the title before thinking "it has to be Finn".

[@legendofFranktheTank]

Can't believe you missed Fiona Apple as a well known Fiona

[@philyk.illagan3161]

This reminds me of the Black Mirror episode "The Entire History of You" with the female character Ffion.

[@erinrising2799]

I would love for you to do my name Erin. I like to judge name books using my own name, if it says it means peace, they've confused it with Irene

[@AtarahDerek]

As someone of Irish descent, I would honestly be offended if a name book claimed Erin means anything other than Ireland.

[@DroneBeeStrike]

"Scotty doesn't know that Fiona and me do it in my van every Sunday!"

[@ourladyofdarkness2622]

Being a Fiona, I copped so much crap from other kids at school for being the only one with the name. It continued after another Fiona moved to the school but she didn't. It died down until that bloody movie character!!!!!

[@blobofdespair]

Fiona seems to be a popular animal name. I work in a shelter and we have had our fair share of Fionas (and Finns). Never a Fionn as far as I'm aware though! (US based)

[@GoofballGorgon]

Actually, Fionn (fyoon/fyinn) derives from Old Irish Finn and is unrelated to Fiona, which derives from Irish Fíon (fyeen) (meaning wine).

[@joshuab4586]

Source?

[@GoofballGorgon]

@@joshuab4586 Behind the name. While users can submit names to the site, they're kept separate from the names everyone sees by default.

[@gunjfur8633]

@@GoofballGorgon Interesting, according to Wiktionary the two names are related

[@GoofballGorgon]

@@gunjfur8633 What I see on Wiktionary is Fiona deriving from the word fionn, not the name. Here's the chain I'm tracing: OI finn > OI Finn/Irish fionn > Fionn/Fiona. Please note that Fionn and Fiona are more-or-less parallel derivations, rather than Fiona deriving from Fionn as a feminine form. I'll note that adjectival fionn's plural is fionna, unless very specific circumstances are met.

[@MuriKakari]

Fionn and Fiona/Fióna/Fionna have the same meaning. The one derived from wine is Fíona. The diacritic makes all the difference.

[@entwistlefromthewho]

The Welsh name Ffion is unrelated to the Irish. It's just the Welsh name for the Purple Foxglove flower and is, therefore, a girls' name.

[@kandipiatkowski8589]

Another famous Fiona is Fiona Shaw who played Petunia Dursley (Harry's aunt) in Harry Potter.

[@sdspivey]

I was just thinking about the male version of "Linda". There is "Lindo", but the only use of that is actor Delroy Lindo, and that's a family name.

[@Leon-zu1wp]
