Where this word comes from

From pohja (“bottom, north”). The surname is from place names. The name of the place in Uusimaa refers to its location at the 'bottom' or far end of a bay. It was however likely not derived directly, and was instead 'reconstructed' based on the Swedish name Pojo, which in turn derived from some original Finnish name containing pohja.
