Anmerkungen

Kettu-kangas' meaning may be "RedFox"-"Forest/Fabric".

There is a legend (true or not) about the family name "Kangas":

Sometime during the time when Finland was governed as a territory of Sweden (approx. 1200 - 1800), the King of Sweden sent some number of men to Finland to take care of the valuable forests. Each of these Swedish men were assigned a different forest area in Finland to manage, and they were all given the surname "Kangas". These forest care-takers took on a surname prefix or suffix which indicated which forest they were responsible for in order to better differentiate their reports back to the Swedish government. Typically, these men and their descendants married into the local Finnish population.
