koodinimi
Koodinimi is a Finnish term meaning codename. It refers to a non-public or internal label assigned to a project, operation, product, or even a person, used to conceal details from competitors, the media, or the public. The word is a compound of koodi (code) and nimi (name) and is widely used in Finnish journalism, government, IT, and business contexts.
A codename is typically chosen early in development or during investigations and may serve as a placeholder
For individuals, a koodinimi can be used to protect identity in reports, trials, or other confidential contexts.
The use of a koodinimi does not inherently imply a legal secret, but rather a practical convention
