Etymology

Borrowed from Late Old Swedish pærun (pear) (compare dialectal Finnish Swedish pärun, perun and standard Swedish päron). Originally meant pear, in which sense it has been attested since the time of Mikael Agricola (16th century). When potatoes were first introduced to Finland in the 18th century, they were usually called maaperuna (literally earth-pear) (compare Swedish jordpäron (potato), German Erdbirne (potato, literally earth-pear), Grundbirne (literally ground-pear)). peruna in its modern sense is first mentioned in a 1787 dictionary by Christfried Ganander.[1][2][3] As the potato grew in relevance, there was pressure to shorten the name to simply peruna, as potatoes quickly become much more relevant for Finnish speakers than pears. For the sense pear, the doublet päärynä came about as a more recent borrowing from Swedish, and ambiguity was thus avoided.
