Tähdellinen

Tähdellinen is a Finnish adjective meaning starry or star-filled. It is formed from the noun tähti (star) with the adjectival suffix -ellinen, indicating relation or characteristic. The word describes something that features stars or evokes the appearance and quality of stars. In everyday Finnish it is used especially of skies or decorative elements, for example “tähdellinen yö” (a starry night) or “tähdellinen sisustus” (star-decorated interior).

In literature and media, tähdellinen can be used metaphorically to convey wonder, vastness, or celestial imagery. It may appear in poetry, descriptive prose, or in branding and product naming to evoke a celestial or whimsical mood. As a regular Finnish word, it can also function as a descriptive descriptor in various contexts rather than as a fixed proper noun.

There are no widely known towns, organizations, or individuals universally recognized by the name Tähdellinen in major reference works. When used as a toponym or title, it would typically be a niche or invented usage, chosen by authors or marketers for its imagery. The term remains part of standard Finnish vocabulary and can be contrasted with related expressions such as tähtimäinen (star-like) or tähtikuvio (star pattern).
