Where this word comes from
Originally the name of an estate and village near Nokia, probably from a pre-Christian given name Kaunia (presumably from kaunis) + -inen. The name for the town near Helsinki is based on a farm name found on some late 19th century maps. The farm may have been named after the aforementioned estate near Nokia. The name was revived in the late 1920s and became established in the 1930s (replacing an earlier name Kuusisto [< kuusisto] which was based on the Swedish name Grankulla), but was only taken into official use in 1949.
