Where this word comes from
Probably from an original form *Pärnäoja, from dialectal pärnä (“linden/lime tree”) + oja (“ditch”), perhaps originally as the name of a ditch located east of the church. The modern vowel -e- in Finnish would be influence from the Swedish form Pernå, which is from the same Finnish name (with oja translated as å).
