Today, on the 28th of February is\u00a0Kalevala Day, marking the anniversary of the publication of\u00a0Kalevala, compiled by\u00a0Elias L\u00f6nnrot\u00a0(1802-1884) from Finnish and Karelian oral folklore and mythology.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kalevala, the Finnish national epic,\u00a0 is one of the most significant works of Finnish literature. The Kalevala is a major part of Finnish culture and history, and has also impacted the arts in Finland. Also\u00a0Kalevala characters still live on in business life, in the names given to many Finnish companies such as in the banking sector; Tapiola, Pohjola and Sampo\u00a0(there is also the icebreaker called Sampo). Other companies in Finland related to Kalevala names are\u00a0Lemmink\u00e4inen\u00a0(asphalting company),\u00a0Kaleva\u00a0(insurance company),\u00a0Ilmarinen\u00a0(pension incurance company) and many more. The Kalevala is a unique trademark in the marketing world.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also several places have Kalevala related names for example district Tapiola in the city of Espoo. And let\u2019s not forget that several of the names in The Kalevala are also very popular Finnish names nowadays. There are lot of young people called\u00a0Sampo, Ilmari or Aino.<\/p>\n
