Minna

1. a femalegiven name
   • 1959,Väinö Linna,Täällä Pohjantähden alla 1, WSOY, published1965, page104:

     Ajatuksissaan kirkkoherra nimitti Helsingistä mukana tuotua taloudenhoitajaaMinnaksi, vaikka Ellen meni siinäkin naurettavuuteen asti, että nimityksen pitäisi kuulua Miina.

     In his thoughts, the vicar called the housekeeper brought over from HelsinkiMinna, even though Ellen went almost to a ridiculous extent to say that she should be called Miina.

   • 1970,Veronica Pimenoff,Pohjoiset pelit, Tammi,→ISBN, page103:

     Senkin nimi oliMinna.Minna oli kuullut sen äidin huutavan sitä. Pari vuotta sittenMinna-nimi olikin ollut muodissa, tuon ikäisiäMinnoja vilisi joka paikassa. Toista oli hänen aikanaan, kun koulussa muut haukkuivatMinna Canthiksi ja huusivat perään että "Miina, Miina, kahvi kiehuu, Miina menee ja hakee sen keittiöstä nyt!"

     She was calledMinna too.Minna had heard her mother call for her. A couple of years laterMinna was a fashionable name and there wereMinnas of the same age everywhere. It was different back in her time, when the others mocked her by calling herMinna Canth and rhyming "Miina, Miina, kahvi kiehuu, Miina menee ja hakee sen keittiöstä nyt!" [Miina, Miina, the coffee's ready, Miina should go get it from the kitchen now!].

Very popular in Finland the 1960s and 1970s.
