Fiona is a feminine given name. The name is associated with the Gaelic traditions of Ireland and Scotland but has also become popular in England. It can be considered either a Latinised form of the Gaelic word fionn, meaning "white", "fair", or an Anglicisation of the Irish name Fíona. The Scottish Gaelic feminine name Fionnghal is sometimes equated with Fiona. In ninth-century Welsh and Breton language 'Fion' referred to the foxglove species and is also a female given name as in Ffion Hague.
