Etymology

[edit]

From varkaus (theft). There are multiple theories in how the place got this name, but the most likely one states that it referred to a type of isthmus that a boat could be dragged on to avoid a rapid section of a river. Thus, in effect, a hard part of the journey was "stolen" by skipping it.[1]

Pronunciation
