Puhtailla

Puhtailla is a Finnish toponym that may refer to several small localities in Finland. The name is formed from the Finnish adjective puhdas meaning clean, and the form puhtailla is a locative usage commonly seen in place names to describe a locality associated with a characteristic of the area. Because the name is relatively generic, there is no single widely recognized Puhtailla; rather, multiple places share the designation.

Geography and description: Places named Puhtailla are typically rural villages or neighborhood clusters within larger municipalities. They generally have modest populations and limited infrastructure, with local activities often centered on agriculture or small-scale commerce. Each Puhtailla functions under the jurisdiction of its respective municipality, and services such as schools, shops, and public transport vary by region.

Etymology and usage: The form puhtailla reflects Finnish naming patterns that attach locative suffixes to adjectives. While the root puhdas conveys cleanliness, the exact historical origin of each Puhtailla instance differs, and the shared name does not imply a common event or origin across all locations.
