Etymology
fi ori stallion Mattila, originally a farm established by Matti Laurinpoika in the 16th century. According to Antero Penttilä, the fi ori(h)- element was added to the farm name as Matti may have been known for his horsemanship, while also distinguishing his farm from some other fi Mattila. The name was spelled as fi Orihmattila until the 19th century, reflecting fi orih, an older form of fi ori.308
