How NOKIA got its name?

The brand name Nokia has already become one of the most widely recognizable names in the world. Headquartered in Finland, the telecommunication giant has its business spread across the world.

The brand’s name Nokia is the name of the Finnish city where the company was originally established. But the interesting fact is that the world’s biggest mobile manufacturing company, Nokia Corporation was originally founded as a wood-pulp mill on the banks of the Nokianvirta river from which the city itself got its name, ‘Nokia’. The company later adopted the city's name as its brand name.

However, Nokia no longer seems to have any operations in the town of Nokia! The headquarters were moved to Espoo, located nearly 200 kilometres south of Nokia.
