Finnish
Etymology
From the strong grade form (oblique stem) of lauas (“stream pool”) (from Proto-Finnic *laugas). In the case of the town in Central Finland, the term refers to the body of water (Koivulahti) between the lakes Saraavesi and Kuusvesi, which was an important route for boats. While the name of the town and river in Russia derive from the same word, there is no direct connection between the two.
