- The name Virta is taken from Nokianvirta, the river situated in the town of Nokia, Finland, where the eponymous company got its name from.
- In Finnish, virta can also mean stream or electric current.[1]
- Ilmavasara means "air hammer" in Finnish, alluding both to Nokia's "unbreakable" meme reputation, and Finnish smithing god Ilmarinen.[2]
