Meaning & usage
a Finnish surname from landscape
Where this word comes from
From virta (“river, stream”) + -nen. Attested since 1684 in Hiitola and in other parts of the Karelian Isthmus in the 18th century. However, the surname only became common in the late 19th and early 20th centuries during the adoption (in Western Finland, often in reference to place names that contain virta) and the Fennicization of surnames.
