Etymology 1
Probably borrowed from Old Swedish sangare (“singer”). Compare with Väinämöinen, the singing hero. Another theory suggests it is derived from the verb sangata or sankailla, ("to resist, to defy, threaten"). Can be related to the words sankka, sakea, sangen (compare voimakas).[1]
Noun
sankari
- hero, heroine
Usage notes
In old usage and regional dialects the word could also have negative connotations, in the sense of tyrant, troublemaker, brawler.[1]
