Where this word comes from
From viita (“thicket”) + -nen. Attested as a surname since 1543, originally as a byname/nickname referring to where one lived. However, the modern surname is likely not a continuation of these older names; instead, it was adopted in Western Finland in the late 19th and early 20th centuries according to the example of other -nen surnames.
