Kirsi

Kirsi is a Finnish feminine name derived from the Finnish word for cherry blossom or cherry tree, connecting it to the delicate flowering trees celebrated in Nordic spring traditions. It arose as a Finnish adaptation influenced by both native vocabulary and Scandinavian naming patterns. The name is closely associated with Finland and remains in use there today, with Kirsi Paakkanen, a notable Finnish businesswoman, being one of its recognizable modern bearers. Related forms include Kirsikka, the fuller Finnish word for cherry, which also appears as a given name.
