Jussi
Jussi (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈjussi]) is a male given name. In Finnish originally it is short for Juhani or Juho, Finnish for Johannes/John, but is also recognized as a name in its own right for official purposes. It can also be short for Justus, or a Finnish form of Justin.
There is also a traditional sweater in Finland called Jussipaita, which can be translated as "Jussishirt".
