Ilmaraolta

The name is of Finnish origin and is composed of two parts: "ilmar," which is a common Finnish given name, and "olta," which is a suffix often used in Finnish place names and surnames. The meaning of "ilmar" itself is thought to derive from "ilma," meaning "air" or "weather," and potentially "merta," meaning "sea."

While specific notable individuals with the surname Ilmaraolta may exist, they are not widely recognized on an international scale.
