1. Meaning of the name "Fiona"

The name Fiona is the name of a Gaelic girl, of Scottish origin meaning "white, fair". Fiona came into American consciousness with the opening of the Broadway Music Brigade in 1954, but was not included in the popular US list until 1990.

Fiona is the most well-known group of related Gaelic names, which is ironic because it is the only name with no real traditional origin - it was first found in James Macpherson's Ossianic poems and later popularized in the late nineteenth century as a feminine pseudonym for a male Scottish writer.

Its recent popularity owes much to Apple singer Fiona and also to Princess Fiona in Shrek. In fact, there have been numerous Fionas on the big and small screens, from The Thorn Birds to Josie and the Pussycats, Four Weddings and a Funeral to Nurse Jackie to Shameless.

Jennie Garth and Chad Lowe have two daughters named Fiona. It is also the middle name of Julia Roberts. If you're looking for something more authentic, consider Fionnuala.
