From older peikkoi, from Proto-Finnic *peikoi, *peiko (reshaped later with -kko; compare Estonian peig (“bridegroom”)), deriving either from Proto-Germanic *faihaz (“hostile, criminal”), *faigijaz (“fey”), or from a lost Baltic cognate (inexact parallels include Lithuanian paikas (“stupid”), piktas (“angry, bad”), pikčius (“devil”), pikulas (“devil”)), all ultimately based on Proto-Indo-European *peyḱ- (“to mark”).
