There are almost 20,000 lake names in Finland, and each of these names has a page in Järviwiki. On the name page you can find your lake on the map or by its municipality. Use [[Toiminnot:Haku|the search]] to get to the right name page. You can also browse through all lake names on the [[:Luokka:Nimi|Name category page]].

The most common lake name is [[Mustalampi]] (Blackpond). As it is small lakes having names ending with ''-lampi'' (pond) dominate the list of most common lake names. In the top ten there are as many as seven of them. The most common name ending with ''-järvi'' (lake) is [[Saarijärvi]] on its fourth place.

Although, if the names were sorted according to surface area they cover, the list would look totally different. On top of that list you would find [[Saimaa]], even though it is the name of just one lake - the largest in Finland.

Some lakes don't have a name at all (not in the lake registry anyway). In Järviwiki there are {{#show: Ei nimeä|?Järvien lukumäärä }} of them, and they are labelled with [[Ei nimeä]] (No name). If you come across one of these lakes, and you know it has a name, be pleased to inform about the name at the discussion page of that lake.

Up to {{#number_format:{{#ask: [[Luokka:Nimi]][[Järvien lukumäärä::1]] |format=count }}|0|.|,}} lakes have a unique name.
