Proper noun[edit]
Silja
- a female given name
- 1931, Frans Emil Sillanpää, “Nuorena nukkunut”, in Silja ja Ihmiset suviyössä, Suuri Suomalainen Kirjakerho, published 1988, →ISBN, page 67:
- Mutta tyttö, jolle kasteessa oli annettu nimi Cecilia ja jota puheessa sanottiin Siljaksi, se kasvoi ja menestyi eikä tiennyt tämän maailman vastuksista.
- But the girl, christened Cecilia and often called Silja, grew up, became successful, ignorant of the hardships in this world.
- 2006, Pirjo Hassinen, Isänpäivä, Otava, →ISBN, page 257:
- Kirjoitin servieteille myös Siljan nimeä. Sitä oli vaikea kirjoittaa muuta kuin naisellisesti. Se näytti koruompeleelta tai nimikoinnilta morsiuskapioissa. Liioittelin silmukoita ja piirsin s-kirjaimen perhosen rullalle kiertyneeksi tuntosarveksi. Vaikka joskus meninkin Satulasta kotiin Siljan sängyn kautta, en tuntenut paljon mitään.
- I wrote the name Silja on the serviettes too. It was difficult to write it in any other way than a feminine one. It looks like embroidery or a name sown on trousseaux. I exaggerated the squiggles and drew the S like a curled up antenna of a butterfly. Even though I came back to Satula through a Silja bed sometimes, I didn't feel like much.
