Where this word comes from

Uncertain. The name is connected to the word kymi (“big river”), but this has likely developed from the name rather than the other way around. First attested as Kymmene (1443), Kymin (1458). Koivulehto (1987) suggests borrowing from Proto-Germanic *kwēmijaz (“easily accessible or passable”). While Heikkilä (2014) agrees with this etymology, Rahkonen (2013) considers it unlikely for semantic reasons and considers the word as ultimately being a variant of Kemi, which he derives from Proto-Finno-Permic *käme through a substrate.
