### Etymology 2

The surname is from place names with dialectal louhi (“rock, cave”) (akin to louhia, louhikko), referring to terrain. The surname may also be partly from Louhi (etymology 1) as a relatively recent surname adopted in the early 20th century as part of the Fennicization of surnames; one of the sources for new surnames were elements from national folklore.
