History: Lasse peaked in the 1970s and is a beloved Finnish-Nordic pet form of Lars. Lasse Virén is one of Finland's greatest Olympic heroes — winning gold in both the 5,000m and 10,000m at two consecutive Olympics (1972, 1976). His famous fall-and-recovery in Munich became a symbol of Finnish sisu. Lasse means never giving up.
