The Gaelic name is of course derived from Fionn. Those familiar with Irish mythology will know the tale of Fionn MacCumhaill (Finn MacCool) the great warrior hero. 

Fionn MacCumhaill was a leader of the Fianna hunter-warriors. His life is most synonymous with the tale of the Salmon of Knowledge.

As a young boy, Fionn met the druid poet Finnegas near County Meath's River Boyne. Finnegas has been trying to catch the evasive all-knowing fish for years as it was believed that he who ate the fish would gain all the knowledge the world had to offer. Finnegas was eventually successful in capturing the fish, and instructed his protege Fionn to prepare it.

While cooking the fish, Fionn burnt his thumb on its scales, and instinctively put his scalded thumb into his mouth to soothe it, thereby gaining the promised wisdom.
