Jarkko

Jarkko is a Finnish given name derived from the Old Norse name Jörg, itself a Scandinavian and Germanic form of George, which traces back to the Greek Georgios, meaning "farmer" or "earthworker," from ge (earth) and ergon (work). The name entered Finnish naming tradition as an adaptation suited to Finnish phonology and has been in steady use in Finland throughout the twentieth century. Related forms include Jörg in German, Jyri and Yrjö in Finnish, and Jörgen in Scandinavian languages.
