What Finland is in Finnish?
Finns themselves call their country Suomi. It is not known exactly where this word comes from. One theory is that it is based on Finnish word “suo”, which means swamp. Although there are swamps in Finland, it sounds a bit negative to name the whole country a swamp. But no matter where the word comes from, Suomi is the name Finns have chosen for their country, and they are proud of it!
