Kirsi

Kirsi is a Finnish feminine name derived from the Finnish word for cherry blossom or cherry tree, related to the same root that gives the language its word for the cherry fruit. It emerged as a distinctly Finnish given name and became popular in Finland during the twentieth century. The name is closely associated with Finnish cultural identity and shares its floral and botanical feel with other Nordic feminine names. Kirsikka is a longer Finnish form sharing the same root.
