- Virta is inspired by Nokia Corporation, and to an extent, Salora Oy, a Finnish electronics manufacturer that formed the joint venture Mobira Oy (later Nokia-Mobira Oy) in 1979, that gave rise to early Nokia mobile phones in the 1980s. The company was later merged with Nokia in 1989.
- 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]
- Virta’s old territory, Luotela, is derived from the place of the same name in the Kalevala.
