Finnish <dab!> Etymology fi pyhä järvi sacred lake. The surname is from place names. All three municipalities were named after nearby lakes, fi Pyhäjärvi being a common name for lakes in Finland (given e.g. to lakes by pagan places or worship or sacrifice; at least in some cases it is also possible that fi pyhä was used as a labialized variant of fi piha in the sense fenced enclosure and given to lakes located near borders, although note that SSA considers that sense of fi pyhä to be of the same origin as fi pyhä holy, sacredpyhä).fi 2018 Lehikoinen, Laila Antreasta Äyräpäähän: Luovutetun Karjalan pitäjien nimet Kotimaisten kielten keskus 29 978-952-5446-93-7 https://kaino.kotus.fi/www/verkkojulkaisut/julk55/Antreasta_Ayrapaahan.pdf Pronunciation pyhä-järvi Proper noun fi Q990573fi town/and/municipality r/North Ostrobothnia c/Finland fi Pyhäjärvi Ol historical Pyhäsalmi historical fi former municipality r/Uusimaa merged with fi Karkkila in 1969 fi Pyhäjärvi Ul historical fi a <<former>> Finnish <<municipality>> in the Karelian Isthmus, now the municipality ru Отрадное in <<c/Russia>> fi Pyhäjärvi Vl historical Pyhäjärvi Vpl historical fi any of a number of <<lakes>> in <<c/Finland>> fi Finnish Usage notes town, municipality external Pyhäjärvi Pyhäjärvellä 1 The town in Northern Ostrobothnia was called fi Pyhäjärvi Ol until 1962, fi Pyhäjärvi in 1963-92, fi fi Pyhäsalmi in 1993-95 and again fi Pyhäjärvi from 1996 onwards.
