I gave myself this name when I came out as non-binary, since I'm Finnish American and I loved the meaning and origin. It's very special to me.

While it is an interesting name and pretty in the original pronunciation, someone pointed out to me that English speakers might read it as "anal". Unfortunate, but something to consider if you're thinking of naming a child Aino.

Aino is on all accounts a beautiful name. Its meaning and sound are lovely, it's classic yet fresh, suitable for any age and it's very Finnish. In addition, the 'o' ending is a bit unusual in girls' names which I like.
Joukahainen's sister could be a negative factor for some but the Kalevala connection is still Romantic, in the nationalistic way, and I've never had issues with the story anyway.
Aino was my grandmother's name, so I'm (most likely) biased, but it actually pleases me that this name has been popular rather than childishly sulking about my favourites being "too used".

I really love this name and I am sad that I can't use it myself. My husband is Mexican and it sounds bad in spanish, very close to the word for "anus". I think this name is modern, unique, and sooo cute. I love that its an old classic name in Finland, but completely undiscovered by Americans.

I'm not a huge fan of this name, but I think the meaning 'The Only One' is stunning and one of the most beautiful meanings ever for some reason! Haha.

This name is very popular in Finland, but also very special. I'm told by a native Finn that "not just anyone" can be an Aino; it has a lot of meaning that is lost once it's taken outside the culture, given its strong link to the Kalevala (probably THE source of Finnish nationalism and culture).

In the description it says that "Aino" means "my only one" in Finnish. That is not entirely true. There is a Finnish word that means "only", which is "ainoa" or "ainut", obviously close to the name, but not the name exactly. The only place where the word is written as "Aino" meaning "only" is Kalevala, which is written in poem form - with poetic license. And even that is a matter of interpretation. In general Finnish, there is no such word as "Aino", other than as the female name and Kalevala character.

Actually the word for "the only one" is nowadays "ainoa". "Aino" is an old fashioned and/or poetic way to say it.

Originally, the character of Aino did not have a name at all. She was referred to as the only sister of Joukahainen ("...aino siskonsa"), but for some reason people thought it was her name and capitalized the word Aino, even though it originally just meant that Joukahainen didn't have other sisters.
