A popular Finnish choice back in the 50s and 60s, Eija is a sweet and cheerful name with contested origins. Some sources suggest it comes from eijaa or heijaa, words that are used more so in hymns or old literature rather than in everyday Finnish. In this case, it borrows from the Latin eia meaning "aha" come on!", a happy phrase of delight, playfulness, and encouragement. 
 
An alternative interpretation is that Eija emerged as a diminutive of Erja, Irja, Eila, Eivor, or Eira, based on mispronunciations of these names by young children (similar to how Sally, Molly, and Dolly emerged). There's also the possibility that it borrows from the Old Norse name Eyja, meaning "good fortune" or "always", or the Icelandic word for "island", eyja. 
 
Notable bearers of the name include photographer and video artist, Eija-Liisa Ahtila, actress Eija Vilpas, and model Eija Skarsgård (daughter of Stellan Skarsgård).

A playful Finnish name, Siru doubles up as both a wordy choice and a variation of the Scandinavian Sigrid. Pronounced as SIH-roo (Sih like the sound in sit, roo like the short sound in took), it is a familiar choice for girls in Finland.
 
When used as a word name, it means "fragment, chip, splinter" connoting ice or glass (or perhaps a fragment of poetry), while as a form of Sigrid, it comes from Old Norse and means "fair, beautiful victory". The name is notably borne by the singer Siru Aristola. 
 
The name may also be used more globally, possibly as a Thai, Hindi, and Tamil name, all derived from the Sanskrit Sri meaning "splendor, radiance".
