Proper noun

Tuija

1. a female given name
   • 1987, Eira Stenberg, Häikäisy, Tammi, →ISBN, page 9:

     Muistatko Tuijaseni? Me emme totisesti olleet kotitalomme koivu ja tähti. Tuijat ovat hautapuita, kuin siististi palavia vihreitä liekkejä joiden symmetria ei häiritse vainajien mielenrauhaa. Et totisesti muistuta nimeäsi.

     Do you remember, my little Tuija? We were not the birch and the star at our home. Thujas are coniferous trees, like neatly burning green flames, that have a symmetry that doesn't bother the peace of mind of the dead. You don't resemble your name at all.
