Name source
According to the usual explanation, nokia, the original word of Nokia Finnish, originated from the ancient Finnish word nois (plural: Nokia) or nokint? , meaning "mink". When sable is hunted to extinction in Finland, the word refers to any dark-skinned animal that still haunts this area, such as mink. However, later research seems to show that sable has never lived in Finland, and the name nois actually refers to Eurasian beaver.
