Mitä varten niin pienellä tytöllä oli sellainen nimi? Minä tiesin, koska olin kysynyt. Nimi tuli Sallan isoäidiltä, eikä sillä hänen tietääkseen ollut mitään erityisempää merkitystä. Se oli vain kaunis nimi, jonka hän halusi säilyttää suvussa. Niinhän ne nimet kiertävät. Mutta kyllä sillä merkitys oli. Hänellä oli nimittäin myös isosetä, nimeltään Aunus, ja isotäti Viena. Aunus, Inkeri, Viena ja Salla, rajantakaista Karjalaa kaikki paitsi Salla, mutta sieltäkin oli Neuvostoliitto sodassa riistänyt ison palan. Historia eli pienessä tytössä, jonka hänen äitinsä oli omien isovanhempiensa esimerkin mukaan nimennyt kenties ajattelematta, että aikanaan nimi oli julistanut Suur-Suomea ja heimoaatetta, luultavasti heimosotiakin. Inkeri. What for did such a young girl have a name like that? I knew, since I had asked that question. The name came from Salla's grandmother, and as far as she knew, it didn't have any special meaning. It was just a beautiful name that she wanted to keep going in the family. That's how names tend to go, after all. But it did have a meaning. She also had a great uncle named Aunus, and a great aunt named Viena. Aunus, Inkeri, Viena and Salla, all in the ceded Karelia except for Salla, which too had had a large piece taken off it by the Soviets after the war. That little girl had a piece of history living in her, that her mother had named after her grandparents' example perhaps without thinking about how the name had once stood for Greater Finland and fi heimoaate, perhaps even for the Heimosodat. fi Finnish place names Declension municipality internal Salla Sallassa 1 Sall a Derived terms fi sallalainen Statistics dvv_20250813 5461 508 133 dvv_20250813 224 See also other female names from places in Lapland: fi Saana, fi Inari References Further reading Anagrams fi aalls allas Northern Sami Etymology se.
