Fianne is Irish in Origin.

Fianne is a modern feminine given name most often encountered in the Netherlands and Flanders. Linguistically it behaves like an elaboration of Fia/Fien with the suffix -anne, aligning it with Dutch -anne names such as Lianne and Rianne. Fia is commonly a short form of Sofia/Sophia (Greek “wisdom”), while in Irish contexts Fia/Fiadh means “wild; deer,” and the sound also recalls Fianna and Fiona (from Old Irish Fionn, “fair”). Accordingly, Fianne is typically read as a blended name with layered Celtic and Dutch echoes.

Documented use rises from the late 20th century, with modest but steady presence in Dutch and Belgian registers and occasional appearance in Ireland and the UK. Variants and relatives include Fiana, Fianna, Fiane, Fia, Fien, Fiona, and Anne. Meanings offered by parents range from “wise and gracious” (Sophia + Anne, from Hebrew Channah “grace”) to “wild grace” (Fiadh + Anne).
