Meaning and background
The story behind Kiekko
Kiekko is a Finnish mathematical word for a disc or disk. The Finnish Terminology Bank defines it as the area in a plane bounded by a circle, and distinguishes the open disc from the closed disc according to whether the circumference is included. This source gives Kiekko a concrete geometry connection. Its specialist word definition should be kept separate from claims about the origin or established use of Kiekko as a personal name.
