Meaning & usage

name/ˈtikːurilɑ/[ˈt̪ikːuˌrilɑ̝]
  1. a district of Vantaa

Where this word comes from

tikkuri (“ten squirrel furs”) + -la. Adapted from Swedish Dickursby (first attested as Dikursby in 1501), which contains Old Swedish dikur (“ten squirrel furs”) (whence also Finnish tikkuri). The place may have been named so because of some kind of connection to squirrel fur trade, or perhaps more likely via a byname/nickname given to someone involved with squirrel furs (e.g. trading, tanning, counting or packaging).
