Finnish Name
In Finland, a person must have a surname and at least one given name with up to four given names permitted. Surnames are inherited either patrilineally or matrilineally, while given names are usually chosen by a person's parents.

Pronunciation In Finnish, the letter "j" denotes the approximant , as in English ''you''. For example, the two different names ''Maria'' and ''Marja'' are pr ...
