Thus, Nokia would originally referred to a place where these animals lived, or more likely referring to a center of fur trade. The Finnish word in question is not attested in any dialect, but may be from Proto-Finnic *nuksi, if it is akin to Estonian nugis (“marten”), although this is not certain. Alternatively, if the word specifically referred to black fur animals, it may be derived from noki (“soot”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈnokiɑ/, [ˈno̞k̟iɑ̝] Rhymes: -okiɑ Syllabification(key): No‧ki‧a Hyphenation(key): No‧kia === Proper noun === Nokia Nokia (a town and municipality of Pirkanmaa, Finland, near Tampere) Nokia (company and brand name; nowadays known for its mobile phones and networks, formerly for forest, rubber and electrotechnical industry) a Finnish surname transferred from the place name ==== Declension ==== The external locative cases (adessive, allative and ablative) are used with this place name when referring to a location; for example, "in Nokia" is Nokialla. ==== Derived terms ==== nokialainen ==== Descendants ==== → English: Nokia → Swedish: Nokia → Chinese: 諾基亞 / 诺基亚 (Nuòjīyà) (transliteration) ==== Statistics ==== The surname Nokia belongs to 48 individuals, according to August 2025 data from the Digital and Population Data Services Agency of Finland. === References === === Anagrams === Kaino, akoin, kaino, kaoni, kinoa, koina, okain, okina, onkia == German == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈnoːki̯a/, [-.ki.ä], [-.kjä] === Proper noun === Nokia n (proper noun, genitive Nokias or (optionally with an article) Nokia) Nokia (a town and municipality of Pirkanmaa, Finland) Nokia (company) === Noun === Nokia n (strong, genitive Nokias or Nokia, plural Nokias or Nokia) Nokia (phone of that company)
