Etymology
fi kannel järvi, named after the lake by which it is located. The name likely refers to the shape of the lake in some way, but the exact development remains unclear. It is also possible that the fi kannel in this name is a later folk-etymological adaptation from something else, e.g. a derivation of fi kansi, but as with all other explanations, this remains uncertain.fi 2018 Lehikoinen, Laila Antreasta Äyräpäähän: Luovutetun Karjalan pitäjien nimet Kotimaisten kielten keskus 15 978-952-5446-93-7 https://kaino.kotus.fi/www/verkkojulkaisut/julk55/Antreasta_Ayrapaahan.pdf
