Finnlea is English, Irish in Origin.

Finnlea is a modern English given name, most often a creative spelling of the Scottish/Irish surname-given Finley/Finlay or a blend of Finn + Lea. It connects to the Gaelic personal name Fionnlagh (Old Irish Findlaech), from fionn "fair, white" and laoch "warrior, hero." Finlay/Finley has been used in Scotland and Ireland since medieval times and later spread through the British Isles and North America; Finn also echoes the legendary Irish hero Fionn mac Cumhaill. In the 21st century, softer -lea endings have been adopted especially for girls, making Finnlea a contemporary, unisex-leaning choice.

Meaning is typically taken from its Gaelic root as "fair warrior," though many parents also hear a nature note from Lea, Old English leah "meadow, clearing." Related variants and spellings include Finley, Finlay, Finnley, Finnleigh, Finnlee, and Finlea; diminutives include Finn and Lea.
