I wouldn't mind betting the Finnish practiced the common indo-european practice of naming their lineage after an ancestor. A lot of Finnish mythology is Indo-European (Germanic and Slavic), plus the bronze age ancestors of the Germanic and Slavic people (the Corded Ware people) had inhabited Estonia and parts of Finland.
To top this off, the ancestor of the Finno-Ugric peoples was a genetically Ostyak group that lived beside the indo-europeans before they even spread their culture across the world. Whilst Indo-Europeans were the likely inventors of the wheel, the Finno-Ugrics actually domesticated the horse before they did.
A lot of Finnic words also have heavy indo-european influence. Genetically, Finnish and Estonians have more indo-european in them than many indo-european language speakers across Europe.

@Kendji, This is not a problem, as there are a lot of anachronisms in the game. Sometimes very stupid ones. The 1200s? Hold my ale! The game has titles from the 1930s!
It is better to add geographical names in the file (00_landed_titles) using unique names for each culture (cn_NAME)

@Kendji I had no idea that was the case and also have no idea what I’d change them too haha

Have you thought about correcting place names?
-Messukylä
-Uusimaa
-Porvoo
-Espoo
-Raasepori
-Viipuri

Are all Swedish Medieval names dating to maybe 1200's earliest.
