Where this word comes from

Possibly from saini, variant of saani (both dialectal words referring to a kind of sleigh), + -io, although the connection is not certain. Mostly from the late 19th and early 20th centuries during the Finnicization of surnames, but there are some possible references from historical sources, in which case the surname may have been revived from a historical surname.
