An alternative spelling or variant of 'fingal,' referring to the legendary hero or geographic locations associated with Gaelic legend.
Variant of 'Fingal' from Gaelic 'Fionnghall.' The double-l spelling shows alternative historical orthographies that existed before standardization, common in 18th-19th century English texts transliterating Gaelic names.
The spelling variation between 'Fingal' and 'Fingall' reveals how transliterating from Gaelic (which uses completely different letters) into English led to multiple 'correct' spellings—a reminder that standardized spelling is actually a modern invention, and even famous legendary names had wildly inconsistent spellings 200+ years ago.
