Origin of the name Kainuu : ウィキペディア英語版 | Origin of the name Kainuu Origin of the name Kainuu has been a disputed subject among Finnish historians and linguistics. Kainuu is a region of Finland. The reason for the controversy is the speculated connection between areas known as Kainuu and Kvenland, both historical lands in Fennoscandia. ==Theory one: Swampy land==
As a part of his theory about the origin of the name "kven", Professor of History in Oulu University Jouko Vahtola suggested that also the name "kainuu" would basically have the same origin. To prove his point, Vahtola constructed a hypothetical proto-Germanic word " *χwainō" that would have meant "swampy land".〔Vahtola, J. (1994), Kvenerne – vem var de ursprungligen? In: Torekoven Strøm (eed.), Report from the seminar ”Kvenene – en glemt minoritet?” 14.11.94 at the University of Tromsø/Tromsø Museum.〕〔Vahtola, J. (2001), Folk och folkgrupper inom det nordliga rummet över tid. In: Tedebrand, L.-G. & Edlund, L.-E. (ed.), Tre kulturer i möte. Kulturens frontlinjer. Papers from the research program Kulturgräns norr, 27. Published by Johan Nordlander-sällskapet, 23. Umeå.〕 Linguistic support for this part of his theory has been reserved, as the expected etymology of *χwainō would not have been "kainuu" like Vahtola had thought. There is also no evidence that the word "kainuu" had ever been used in the meaning of "swampy land" in any Finnish dialects.〔Häkkinen, Kaisa. ''Suomalaisten esihistoria kielitieteen valossa.''
