Féni, Féne. Name for the
Goídels, allegedly the third invaders of early Ireland, in their own language; the Féni followed the
Eacute;rainn and the
Lagin. Unlike their predecessors, the Féni are said to have migrated directly to Ireland from the Continent, not by way of Britain. In early Irish usage, the term Féni implies the old, aboriginal, purest population, i.e. free land-tillers, as opposed to servants or slaves; honorifically, Féni implies ‘true’ Irish. In the
Brehon Laws of early Ireland, the term
féne-chas denoted those laws applying to landed freeholders. Féni is unrelated to the term
fianna, although the neologism
Fenian was derived from a confusion between the two terms.
