nimekava

Nimekava is a Finnish term that translates to "name list" or "list of names." It is commonly used in various contexts, particularly in relation to legal and administrative matters, as well as in social and family traditions. A nimekava can refer to a formal document listing individuals, such as a roster of attendees at a meeting or a list of registered participants in an event. In a legal or official capacity, it might be a document outlining heirs, beneficiaries, or individuals with specific rights or responsibilities.

Beyond formal settings, nimekava can also describe a compilation of given names and surnames within a family or community. This can be for genealogical purposes, to track naming conventions over generations, or simply as a record of names associated with a particular group. In some instances, it might also refer to a list of potential names for a child or a project. The specific content and purpose of a nimekava are determined by its intended use, but the core concept remains a structured collection of names.
