From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
(Celtic) 1 an aspirated form of Mac Finley: v. Finlay.
2 for Mac Kinley, q.v.
(Irish) The son of Fionnghal (fair valor).
Probably contracted from Mac Cinfaolaidh, 'Cin- faoladh’s Son, ' a name which may be translated ‘Wolf- head’ (cean, ‘head’; faol, ‘wolf'). McBain, however, derives Mac Kinlay from Mac Fhion-nlaigh, which he thinks is from fionnlaoch, 'fair hero'.
'The first year of Ceannfaoladh, son of Blathmac, in the Sovereignty of Ireland, a.d. 670.’
