Jokela Family History
Jokela Name Meaning
Finnish: from joki ‘river’ + the local suffix -la,
originally a habitational name from any of various farmsteads named
for their riverside location. During the name conversion movement from
Swedish in the 19th and early 20th centuries, it was adopted as a
replacement by Finns with Swedish surnames, especially those
containing Swedish ström ‘river’.
