Tiihonen

Tiihonen is a Finnish surname. It is relatively common in Finland, particularly in the eastern and central parts of the country. The name is believed to be derived from a personal name, likely a variant of "Tiihonen" or a similar sounding name, which may have had its origins in Karelian folklore or mythology. As with many Finnish surnames, the "nen" suffix indicates that the name is hereditary and was typically used to denote "son of" or "descendant of." The name does not typically carry a specific meaning beyond its familial origin.
