Finnish
Etymology
mynä- + -mä. mäki (“hill”) has later been introduced folk-etymologically through the inflected forms. The origin of the root is unknown, but related to Mynäjärvi, the name of a nearby lake (whence the name of the nearby river Mynäjoki). First attested in 1567 as Mynemedh;[1] this indicates that the name was originally in the plural (*Mynämät). The genitive form *Mynämäẟen > Mynämäen then served as the reason to introduce mäki (genitive mäen). The root is found nowhere else in Finland, which is indicative of a loan; thus, according to Heikkilä, it could have been borrowed in the 12th century from Early Middle High German münech (“monk”) (> *Mynelahti (literally “monk('s) bay”) > *Mynämät).[2]
