Etymology
Probably from an unattested word fi *nois (genitive fi *nokiin) meaning a certain kind of fur animal, most likely beaver, marten or sable. Thus, fi Nokia would originally referred to a place where these animals lived, or more likely referring to a center of fur trade. The Finnish word in question is not attested in any dialect, but may be from fi urj-fin-pro *nuksi, if it is akin to et nugis marten, although this is not certain. Alternatively, if the word specifically referred to black fur animals, it may be derived from fi noki soot.
