Pronunciation

Proper noun

Keijo

  1. a male given name
    • 2000, Juhani Syrjä, Juho, Gummerus, →ISBN, Juho 34-63, page 421:
      Keijo vanhempana toimi perämiehenä. Yrittävä Tenho otti vastaan valmista tavaraa. Kyläpuheessa poikia kutsuttiin Tenuksi ja Kessuksi vastoin heidän äitinsä kauneusaistia. Marttaankin taisi nimiväännös vaikuttaa, kun hän piti Kessua vähän roikalemaisena poikana ja Juhanille huonona seurana. Minä häntä tästä arviostaan myöhemmin muistutin, kun Keijo kasvatti Kopran sahan mahtavaksi laitokseksi aivan rehellisillä tempuilla.
      Keijo, as the elder of the two, served as the helmsman. The entrepreneurial Tenho was taking in the finished goods. In the village, the boys were often called Tenu and Kessu, much to the chagrin of their mother. Martta too seems to have been affected, since she thought of Kessu as somewhat of a scoundrel and bad company for Juhani. I would remind her later about this when Keijo had grown the Kopra sawmill into a powerful institution through his entirely honest antics.
