History: Päivi (day/daylight) peaked in the 1960s and is one of Finland's most distinctly native names. It comes directly from the Finnish word päivä meaning day. Päivi Räsänen, a long-serving politician, brought the name international attention. The name captures Finland's special relationship with daylight — in a country where winter brings near-total darkness and summer brings the midnight sun, a name meaning 'day' carries profound significance.
