Since its official recognition in the early twentieth century, the community has maintained a modest population of roughly 1,200 residents, which fluctuates slightly due to seasonal agricultural activities and local employment trends.

The etymology of the name Lyytinenlyyttinen combines the older Finnish toponym “Lyytinen” with the superlative suffix “-lyyttinen,” meaning “most wondrous” or “most splendid.” Local historical accounts suggest the name originated in the 1700s, reflecting residents’ admiration for the picturesque surroundings of the valley that cradles the settlement. Several historical documents, including land registries and parish records, trace the name through various spelling variations until it settled into its current form in the early nineteenth century.
