Where this word comes from

Unknown + -nen, found in both Savonia and Karelia. Paija, Paijanen may represent a variant. Theories, all of which are very much uncertain, have compared this to paja (“smithy”) and pajattaa (“to patter, babble”), although the shift from paj- > paaj- ~ paij- lacks an explanation.
