Who is the founder of Nokia? How to write the full English name of Nokia and its founder?

Analysis:

1865, Fredrik Idestam, the founder of Nokia, founded a wood pulp factory named Nokia along the "Nokia River" in Finland. Since then, Nokia has gone through a long road of development, constantly divesting its non-core business, and made a decision to take mobile communication as its core business in the 1990s. This decision has made Nokia, the leader of global mobile communication today.

The name Nokia originally meant an animal, a place and a group of people.

The word Nokia comes from the old Finnish word "nois"-a small mink that lives on both sides of the Nokia River and looks like an ancient mink. As a place name, Nokia originally only referred to Nokia territory, and later Nokia was also used to refer to people living in Nokia territory in Pirkkala parish.

1865 after the establishment of Nokia, local people began to use Nokia more to refer to the thriving industrial zone at that time. In recognition of the largest local industrial facilities and employers, Pohjois-Pirkkala Town was founded in 1937, and was renamed Nokia Town one year later. 1977, Nokia Town was upgraded to Nokia City.
