My name

Ok, people always ask me about my name, it is not very common so I better explain it a bit.
My full name is Jukka-Pekka Keisala. Jukka-Pekka is a very Finnish name and therefore it is sometimes a bit hard to pronounce by non-Finnish speakers, hence JP. Jukka “God is gracious” origins from Hebrew and Pekka “Rock” is Greek origin.
English form of Jukka-Pekka would be John-Peter, in France Jean-Pierre or in Spain Juan-Pedro. My last name Keisala doesn’t really mean anything that I know.

I study (read google-it) some genealogy and found out that I belong to Pennala-family tree from Southern Ostrobothnia in a small town called Töysä in Finland. Along ~70 000 other lucky ones I am one of the descendants of Olavi Tuomaanpoika Pennainen (1670-1758) and his wife Kaisa Yrjöntytär Härkölä (1677-1744).
