    Virma In Norway there is Verma
    Vanda near Helsingfors, means water river
    Aura & Eura from aur - meaning gravel
    Rauma town by Räma river. Same river name in Norway and Iceland
    Kumå by Björneborg; means river is navigable
    Kyrå cow river
    Kelviå In Sweden there is lake Kälven
    Sikajoki In Norway there is river Sika
    It's "Siikajoki". "Sika" means pig and "siika" means whitefish.

    Thread about the etymology of "Eura": https://muinainensuomi.foorumi.eu/vi...hp?f=24&t=1912.

    The name "Rauma" is thought to be derived from a Proto-Norse word that is a cognate of the English word "stream" (https://www.kotus.fi/julkaisut/nimij...aikannimikirja):

    Nimeen sisältyy sana rauma (*strauma), joka tunnetaan Varsinais-Suomen rannikolla merkityksessä 'kapea salmi'. Kylä on saanut nimensä sijainnistaan rauman eli salmen rannalla.

    The book linked above explains that Vantaa is thought to be derived from "Vanajantaa", "back of Vanaja". Vanaja is a region near the source of river Vantaa.

    I'm afraid to reply in more detail because Lemminkäinen already admonished users for posting off-topic replies.

    I can say them but I don't wanna. It's cooler to speak like a redneck.

    Iron Age finds from Finland, Estonia, Livonia and Courland. The most beautiful jewellery is from Courland and Livonia and the most brutal weapons are from Finland, not all Finnish finds shown, pages after pages Scandinavian stylish axes, spears and swords. No bear figures, some bird medallions though. Some Scandinavian ornaments and a cross medallion from Finland.

    Edit. No Ålandic finds, I skipped them, but the front page still remained.

    Christian symbols found from Finland 500-1100 ad. Some are difficult to recognize, for instance those figuring the tree of life. There is more, but now these.















    All before crusades.

    Details from Iron Age Finland. It is common knowledge that the continuity of the present Finnish settlements started from 500 BC. While the wave of the Uralic language speakers was still at that time somewhere in Western Russia (if we trust in several studies made in Tartu university) and Finnish researchers telling that Baltic Finnic speakers came to Finland not earlier than 300 AD, we can suppose that the first settlers didn't spoke Baltic Finnic language. We have then two possibilities: Saamis and Scandinavians, probably both, because oldest Germanic loan words have been found in Saami. However the earliest dating of Saami arrival is just 500 BC, so it sounds possible that only Scandinavians could have been in Finland earlier founding hill fortresses described in the text. By chance the dating of the Finnish I1 matches with this time.

    Aikio, Germanic loan words in Saami:

    Kallio, Germanic strada in Baltic Finnic, not earlier than 200-500 AD, proving that the first connection happened in Finland during the early Runic period. Here is also a full Baltic Finnic language tree including the bifurcation into south and north Baltic Finnics (Language tree, I recommend to Russian /Uralic speakers to make our discussion about the Finnic-Karelian-Vepsian history easier):

    Interesting video about skis used in driven hunts in Finland, used from iron age to 18th century.

    At the same time Finland and Livonia remained. Estonia fell between those two areas without influence and it is a bit ridiculous how Estonian researchers talk about Estonian Vikings. They were never Vikings. If we speak about yDna (people love it) we see the oldest N-L550 in Finland, Sweden and likely in old Livonia and Estonia, but two last mentioned are poorly studied. The Estonian yDna is poorly studied despite of the high profile of the Tartu university

    Viking Age world snake figures were very common in Finland, but before Viking Age in the Merovingian period. Buckles, sword pommels etc. Some buckles

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%B6rmungandr

    In Finland those figures were already before the Viking Era debonair pieces of art and almost industrial products.
