Weikko is a rare and distinctive given name of Finnish origin. It is derived from the Old Norse elements 'Víkingr' meaning 'viking' and 'loðinn' signifying 'shaggy' or 'hairy'. This unique name, while uncommon in English-speaking countries, holds significant cultural and historical value in Finland. Traditionally, it has been used more frequently among males but can also be given to females due to its unisex nature. The name Weikko is often associated with strength, courage, and adventurous spirit, reflecting the characteristics of the ancient Viking warriors from whom it originated.
"Over four years, the name Weikko was given to babies a total of 33 times, with peaks in 1915 and 1917."
