Etymology
Derived from fi laiha thin, skinny as a byname/nickname. The exact derivation is unknown, however, although such variation is not uncommon in such given names. The place name is from the given name, possibly through a farm name (fi Laihela ~ fi Laihiala), in which the suffix fi -la toponym was later dropped (but preserved in the Swedish name sv Laihela). For the surname, compare fi Laihanen.
