Helsinki n

1. Helsinki (thecapital city ofFinland; amunicipality, thecapital of the region ofUusimaa,Finland)

• Elsenfors(obsolete)

Borrowed from vernacularSwedishHelsinge, itself probably derived from*hälsing- (found in e.g.Hälsingland,Helsingborg ~Hälsingborg), a derivative ofhals(literally“neck”) (perhapsOld Swedishhals >hälsinge), here referring to a narrow part of a flowing body of water. Helsinki is located on the delta of theriver Vantaa, so the name would refer to the rapids of that river. Indeed,Vanhankaupunginkoski, the rapids around which Helsinki was founded, was calledHelsinge fors(literally“Helsinki rapids”) in older sources; this is also the origin of the current Swedish nameHelsingfors.

In the past the city was considered to have been named after the Swedish province ofHälsingland, on the grounds that Helsinki would have initially been settled by people from Hälsingland, but this is not held to be likely anymore (instead, the largest group seems to have been those fromUppland).
