The pointy bit on the front of a sailing ship, could be roughly identified by the shape of their jibsail or the cut of the jib

Only one N in Finland. Two in Finn.

So is it Finlad or Filand?

To be far, Finns love their double letters in names. Just ask Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen

I mean why quibble over a country that doesn't exist?

Dangerous talk these days... regards from Russia's neighbor.

'scool; there's only one language in which we care about the spelling of our country's name, and that's Finnish. ("Suomi", btw,)
ExTechOp
Etymology is a bit unclear (the country is called Suomi in Finnish), but it has been suggested it originated from "fiend land" = enemy land.
FireSpittingVacuumCleaner
On the other hand, "Suomi" is based on suomaa, meaning bog land. At least that's what I choose to believe.

Putin's speech mentioned mistakes made in 1917, and that didn't go by unnoticed in Finland — that's when we became independent of Russia.
UnlikelyFinn
Makes more sense. I failed to find any fins on the land
MikkoLaine
Publius Tacitus wrote in Germania about "fenni" who probably were sami people, but that's where the name originates.
ExTechOp
…seems to have been a form of the proto-Germanic word *fanþian-, denoting "wanderers" / "hunting folk" — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenni

When Soviets bombed Helsinki, Molotov told UK press that they're not bombs but bread baskets, so finns made a coctail to go with his"bread".

Finnish humor at its finest

Here's another one: During the cold war, Soviets were concerned about the name of Finnish beer Karjala (Karelia), and demanded...
iamarealuser
For those wonder: Karjala refers to the the land area Finland lost to Russia.
MarkoffChaney
... that we have to change the name. The sales skyrocketed after that, because finns wanted to drink the karelia back, bottle by bottle.
Animaniacs
Does the name mean something in Russian?
MarkoffChaney
Well it's the name of the province we lost in the war. Same in Finnish and Russia.
