Etymology
Originally referring to the rapids ; ultimate origin (possibly from a lost ). According to Viljo Nissilä, the name may derive from earlier or, perhaps from a lost given name ultimately derived from. Alternatively, according to Pauli Rahkonen, possibly (although not certainly) from a Uralic (Meryan-East Chudian) substrate language, where the initial component may derive from and the latter -dra derives from *jädrä, from ; thus the name would initially have referred to the lake Saimaa.
