Last name origin & meaning: Finnish: variant of Joki ‘river’ + the common surname suffix
-nen. In some instances Jokinen arose as a family name
from the farm name Jokela. Later, during the name conversion
movement of the 19th and early 20th centuries, it was widely adopted
as an ornamental name by Finns, especailly as a replacement for
Swedish surnames ending in -ström ‘river’.
