Nauhomaa
Nauhomaa is a surname of Finnish origin. It is believed to derive from the word "nauha," meaning ribbon or band, and "maa," meaning land or country. This suggests a possible historical connection to the landscape or a characteristic feature of the land where early bearers of the name resided. Like many Finnish surnames, Nauhomaa likely emerged during the late 19th and early 20th centuries when efforts were made to standardize and adopt surnames across the country. Before this period, many Finns used patronymic naming conventions.
