Finnish: maaliskuu
Maalis- +‎ kuu (month). There are two theories regarding the origin of the name. The first posits that the first word is derived from maallinen (earthly, earthen), as in "March, the month the snow begins to melt to show the first spots of bare earth". The other states that, while there has been influence from maa, it actually derives from mahla (tree sap). Neither of these theories is certain, however, as both have their own phonetic problems.
Kuu (moon, month) from Proto-Finnic kuu, from Proto-Uralic kuŋe.

Op... Literally none of these photos are from Finland. None of these are even Nordic in style.

Many Finns have a surname ending in -la/-lä:

Iltalehti's turn to have the "meteorologists tell you when to take summer vacation" feature. Maybe more people buy the holiday double-issues so they think more people will see the article?
