Finnbar is Irish in Origin.
Finnbar is a modern respelling of the Irish Gaelic Fionnbharr/Fionnbarra, built from fionn "fair, white" and barr "head; crown; summit," giving the sense "fair-headed" or "fair-topped." Traditional Anglicizations are Finbar and Finbarr; the French-influenced Finbarre appears in Cork (as in St Fin Barre's Cathedral). Irish forms include Fionnbharr, Fionnbarra, and the affectionate Barra; Finn is sometimes used as a short form.
Usage dates to early medieval Ireland through Saint Finbarr (6th-7th century), the patron of Cork, whose cult anchored the name in Munster and on placenames and institutions. After quieter centuries, it revived with the Gaelic cultural resurgence and now appears across the Anglophone world. The double-n Finnbar reflects contemporary taste and the popularity of Finn while retaining the name's Gaelic core meaning. Typical English pronunciation is FIN-bar; in Irish, roughly FYUN-var.
