Seafin is a rare modern given name, usually pronounced SEE-fin. It carries two credible roots. In English, it reads as a poetic blend of sea + fin, evoking ocean life, agility, and travel. In Ireland, Seafin aligns with Seefin, an anglicization of Irish Suí Fhinn, “the seat of Fionn,” the mythic hero Fionn mac Cumhaill; by extension it shares Fionn’s meaning “fair; white; blessed.”

As a personal name, Seafin surfaces sparsely in late-20th and 21st-century records, more familiar historically as an Irish place-name and occasional surname borne by families living near hills called Seefin. Variants and near-forms include Seefin, Sea-Finn, Seafinn, and the related Finn/Fionn. Because of its maritime resonance and Irish legend tie, it is used for all genders. Possible short forms are Sea and Fin. Overall meanings offered are “Finn’s seat” (mythic/Irish) or “of the sea; swift, finned” (modern English).
