Vuokko

Vuokko is a Finnish given name, traditionally a female name. It is derived from the Finnish word "vuokko," which means anemone, a type of flower. The name is relatively common in Finland and is often associated with spring and nature due to its floral origin. While historically used for females, there have been occasional instances of it being used as a male given name, though this is rare. The pronunciation of Vuokko is similar to "voo-oh-koh." The name has seen periods of popularity throughout the 20th century in Finland. It is not a name commonly found outside of Nordic countries.
