hauki(“pike (fish)”) + vuori(“mountain”). The reason for the name is not clear, as there are no nearby bodies of water with names containing hauki, and there is no obvious reason for a point of elevation to be named after a fish.[1]
The internal locative cases (inessive, illative and elative) are used with this place name when referring to a location; for example, "in Haukivuori" is Haukivuoressa.
