Sepi

Sepi is a Finnish masculine given name functioning as a short form of Seppo, itself the Finnish adaptation of the Old Norse name Sæbjǫrn, composed of elements meaning sea and bear. It belongs to the broader tradition of Finnish pet forms derived from longer names, following common patterns of vowel-final reduction. Seppo carries strong cultural resonance in Finland as the name of the divine smith figure in the national epic Kalevala, lending Sepi an association with craft and mythology.
