Koskella

Koskella

Koskella is a common Finnish surname that when translated, means "house by a raging river"Fact|date=February 2007.

Important due to its place in Finnish literature, used as a placeholder name for miscellaneous characters that did not warrant a more distinctive name.

Some of the most infamous examples are shown in the works of renowned author Jaakko Syrjä, in which a Koskella commits an untraceable murder and is not named until the final page.
