Editing Tapiola (section)

==Name==
The original name for the Tapiola area was ''Björnvik'', based on a bay with the same name, currently called [[Otsolahti]] (both names mean "Bay of bears", in Swedish and Finnish respectively), and the island of Björnholm on the southeastern side of the bay and the Björnholm croft located on the island. A mansion called Hagalund was builtr on the lands of the Björnvik village in the 19th century, giving rise to the Swedish name for Tapiola, Hagalund. The Finnish name Tapiola was the result of a competition held for the name of a new garden city in the 1950s. The name is based on the god Tapio in the ancient Finnish religion, which also has a connection to the traditional bear motive.<ref>Ukskoski, Laura: [https://www.espoo.fi/fi/asuminen-ja-rakentaminen/kaupunkisuunnittelu/tutustu-ja-osallistu-kaupunkisuunnitteluun/nimisto/espoon-nimien-tarinoita/tapiolan-nimisto#tapiola--hagalund-36482 Tapiolan nimistö], City of Espoo 2016.
