Help[Facts] Re: More Finnish Names- Satu?, Lassia?
in reply to a message by Eliisa
Hei Eliisa!
Taimi – female Finnish name (meaning: young tree)
Tyyne – variation of the female Finnish name Tyyni (meaning: silent, calm)
Kauko – male Finnish name (meaning: ??? maybe: far, far away? – just a guess!)
Vekko – I don’t know this name... maybe it’s a Finnish form of the Danish name Viggo? – just a guess! Viggo is a latinized form (used in Scandinavia) of male Old Norse names beginning or ending with Vig-/-vig (meaning: battle) and of the male Old Norse name Vöggr (meaning: rolling gait)
Tellervo – female Finnish name, but I don’t know the meaning…
Ritva – female Finnish name (meaning: osier twig)
Jari – variation of the male Finnish name Jalmari which is the Finnish form of the male Old Nordic name Hjalmar / Hjalmarr (meaning: helmet, protection + warrior)
Hilkka – female Finnish form of the Old Norse name Hilda / Hildr (meaning: battle, fight)
The Finnish pronunciation of Elina:
E – as in the English word bed
L – almost like an English L
I – as in the English word sit
N – like an English N
A – as in the English word nut (but broader)
The stress in on the first syllable (all Finnish words and names are stressed on the first syllable)
In the Swedish speaking part of Finland the name would be pronounced like this:
E – almost as in the English word bed but double the length
L – almost like an English L
I – as in the English word seat (even a little broader!)
N – like an English N
A – as in the English word nut (but broader)
The stress is on the second syllable
Maybe Lassia can help with Vekko, Kauko and Tellervo? I'd like to know, too!
Terveisin
Satu
