Lemmenjoki (river)

The Lemmenjoki (, ) is a river in the northern part of the Finnish province of Lapland. Some long, it flows from Nautajänkä, via Lake Paatari, terminating in Lake Inari.
The name of the river comes from the Sami word "Leammijohka", meaning "warm river". Due to an erroneous folk etymology, the form "Lemmenjoki" is often associated with the Finnish word "lempi" (genitive form "lemmen"), meaning "love".
The Lemmenjoki National Park derives its name from the river.
