Finnish
Etymology
Possibly fi särki fish salo wilderness roach (fish) (large, wooded) island, but the Finnish name is first attested only in the 1930s, and the reason behind the name is unknown. The initial component may instead be based on a misreading of gmq-osw Sæckesaleboll (1464), which likely derives from an earlier Finnish form fi *Säkki(ä)salo.
