Voltti

Voltti is a Finnish noun with several distinct meanings. In gymnastics, a voltti is a somersault or flip, performed forward or backward, often executed on floor, beam, or vault. The term is used broadly in coaching and competition descriptions to indicate the rotation around a horizontal axis.

In science and engineering, voltti is the Finnish name for the volt, the SI unit of electric potential difference. The symbol is V. In everyday Finnish, the quantity is typically described as jännite, while voltti is used when stating the unit, for example "10 volttia." The unit is named after Italian physicist Alessandro Volta.

Voltti also appears as a Finnish surname, though it is not among the most common Finnish family names. As a loanword, the term reflects cultural and linguistic adaptation of scientific terminology into Finnish.
