Finnish Name Quiz

Welcome to the finnish name quiz. If you are curious to find out what your Finnish name is, this name quiz will help you find out. The country of Finland has a population of 5.5 million people. It is relatively young - it has been an independent nation since 1917. It is one of the most stable countries in the world, and is consistently rated high by other stability rankings. The Finnish language is different than that of their northern European neighbours, and many of their names may sound very familiar.

If you have ever met a Finn, you probably know his name, Martti Ahtisaari. It is an interesting story, because it means "warlike." However, it's not entirely true that a Finnish person is called Martti. His first name is actually Martinus, which comes from the Latin name Martinus. This word has been associated with the planet Mars, so that explains the meaning of his first and middle names.

Another fun fact about the Finnish language is that you can use any Finnish word you choose as your surname. More than a third of the country's surnames end in -nen. The '-nen' prefix represents a place of origin. Historically, many of the surnames in Finland were adopted in the 19th century. The list below includes some of these names and their meanings.
