Finnish Names that Start With O

Orvokki is a distinctly Finnish feminine name derived from the Finnish word for 'violet' (the flower). This nature-inspired name reflects Finland's tradition of using floral and natural elements in naming. In Finnish culture, the violet symbolizes modesty, faithfulness, and springtime beauty. The name carries a poetic quality and strong cultural connection to Finnish heritage and natural landscapes. While common in Finland, Orvokki remains quite rare internationally, giving it an exotic appeal outside its country of origin. The name reached its peak popularity in Finland during the mid-20th century, though it's less commonly given to newborns today. Orvokki's connection to the delicate yet resilient violet flower imbues the name with subtle strength and natural elegance.
