Finnish Names that Start With R

Riitta is a feminine Finnish name that serves as the Finnish form of Britta or Bridget. The double 'i' is characteristic of Finnish spelling patterns and is pronounced with a long 'ee' sound (REET-tah). The name ultimately derives from the Irish Bridget, meaning "strength" or "exalted one," which was the name of an Irish goddess and later a popular saint. Riitta has been consistently popular in Finland throughout the 20th century, particularly among women born in the 1940s-1960s. Outside of Finland and Finnish communities, the name remains quite rare. Riitta combines the distinctiveness of Finnish naming traditions with an approachable sound and meaningful heritage.
