Re: Katka - Finnish Lapp surname?
The name is Kätkä and you'll find its etymology at tinyurl.com/y4aj65k4. There's a place called Kätkä Fell in Lapland as you can see at tinyurl.com/yyuujcx8.

Hi - my last name is Katka and I've always been curious of the same thing, having been told I'm also of Finnish decent. I registered just to message you, but I can't private message anyone for 6 days. PM me, I'd like to exchange emails and figure out how we may be related. I've always known there were more Katka's out there, but we've been spread out all over and haven't connected yet.
