Jussintytär

Jussintytär is a Finnish surname. It is a patronymic, meaning it is derived from a father's given name. In this case, it translates to "Jussi's daughter." The given name Jussi is a Finnish diminutive of Johannes, which is the Finnish form of the biblical name John. Therefore, Jussintytär literally means "the daughter of Jussi." Surnames formed by adding -ntytär to a father's name were historically common in Finland, particularly in rural areas, and were often adopted by women upon marriage. While less common as a surname today, it remains a recognized Finnish patronymic. Families with the surname Jussintytär would have originally traced their lineage back to a man named Jussi. The use of such patronymic surnames reflects a historical naming convention where a person's identity was closely linked to their father's name and familial line.
