What is the meaning of the name Pertteli ?

The baby name Pertteli is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈpertːeli/ (PERT-teh-lee).

Pertteli is Finnish in Origin.

Pertteli is a Finnish masculine name stemming from a medieval Finnish form of Bartholomew (Aramaic bar-Talmai), meaning “son of Talmai,” with Talmai often interpreted as “furrowed” or “plowman.” The form reflects older Finnish phonology (cf. Pärttyli) and entered use through Christian naming traditions. It is linked to St. Bartholomew, whose feast on 24 August corresponds to Finnish name‑day customs for related forms.

As a given name, Pertteli is rare in contemporary Finland, but it survives prominently in place names - most notably the former municipality of Pertteli (Swedish: S:t Bertils) in Southwest Finland, named for a parish under St. Bartholomew’s patronage. Finnish variants include Perttu and Pärttyli; related forms in neighboring languages are Estonian Pärtel, Swedish/Latin Bartolomeus, and English Bartholomew. The name conveys a distinctly traditional, ecclesiastical character.
