Help[Facts] Finn (Male, Scandinavian)
I'm trying to track down the meaning of the name "Finn", from the Old Norse root "finnr". Some places on the net say it means wetland, or white (same as Celtic), or even fisherman.

I've also read that Finn could mean "Saami" in old Swedish. And the Saami are certainly wandering, with their reindeers.
It is carved on a rune stone "Finn ristade runorna" (Finn carved the runes).
"You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."
