Finnish
[edit]Etymology
[edit]The name in its modern form was mainly adopted starting from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, during which it was probably interpreted as oksa (“branch”) + -nen. However, it can also be found in earlier sources, and the name may in fact originate from oksi (“bear”) rather than oksa.[1]
