None — a fictional coinage; its creator stated no etymology or construction for it

Finnick was coined by Suzanne Collins for Finnick Odair in the Hunger Games novels (Catching Fire, 2009), and entered American baby-name data in 2015, after the films. Collins stated no construction for it — it may echo Finn plus a -ick ending, but that is a guess — so by the Korra standard it is uncertain despite being datable. It has risen since 2020.
