Ylimmäisenä jakomestarina oli Martti -eno, kalamiesten johtaja, mummuni nuorin veli. — Miksi Martikkalan nimi on Martikkala? kysyi Reino-serkku meiltä nuoremmilta ja vastasi itse: siksi että siellä kaikki miehet ovat Martteja, siksi että tikka hakkasi sen ullakon rei'ille, ja siksi että Martti-eno on aina kalassa. There were no disagreements. Uncle Martti, the leader of the fishermen, the youngest brother of my grandma, did the meting out. — Why is Martikkala named Martikkala? cousin Reino asked us younger ones and answered his question himself: because all men there are named Martti, because a woodpecker [tikka] made holes all over its attic, and because uncle Martti is always fishing [kalassa]. fi Finnish given names Declension Mar tt t a Derived terms fi Martikainen Martikka Martiskainen Marttila Marttinen fi compounds Martinkauppi Martinlaakso Martinmäki martinpäivä Mäkimartti Related terms pet form fi Mara surnames fi Martikainen, fi Marttila, fi Marttinen Statistics dvv_20250813 13435 8527 52 dvv_20250813 240 References
