Eppu

Eppu is a Finnish given name and nickname predominantly used for males. In Finland, it is commonly encountered as an independent name rather than solely as a shortened form of another name, and may be given at birth or used informally among friends and family.

The most prominent association with the name is the Finnish rock band Eppu Normaali, formed in the late 1970s in Finland. The band's name is a wordplay that roughly translates to “not normal” in Finnish, and it became one of the best-known acts in Finnish rock. Over decades, Eppu Normaali released numerous albums and helped shape the Finnish popular-music scene, contributing to the rise of Finnish-language rock in the 1980s and beyond.

Outside Finland, the name Eppu is uncommon, and references to it are typically tied to Finnish culture or the band. As a result, the term Eppu is primarily encountered within discussions of Finnish names and music history.
