The nurmi Surname
nurmi Name Meaning and History
Finnish: ornamental name from Finnish nurmi ‘lawn’ or
‘pasture’. The surname dates from the 16th century, becoming popular
in the late 19th century, when it was taken by people who hitherto had
no surname, and during the name conversion movement of the 19th and
early 20th centuries, when it was frequently adopted as a replacement
for a Swedish or other foreign family name. It occurs chiefly in
southwestern Finland.
