Vainio Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

This surname comes from vainio, the Finnish word for 'meadow'; vainion is the possessive form.

Pää is the Finnish word for 'head'.

Vainionpää then means 'meadow's head' or 'head of the meadow'.

V and W are used interchangeably in Finnish, with W being the antiquated form, so Vainionpää and Wainionpää are equivalent.

English substitutes a for ä, so many English-speakers of Finnish extraction have Wainionpaa as surname. Some Finnish immigrants to the USA shortened Vainionpää or Wainionpää to Vainio or Wainio.
