The Fenni were a people described by Tacitus in his Germania. In Old Icelandic, the noun fenni means "hard snow", while the verb, fenna, means "to cover with snow." An interpretation of the term, suggested in 1896 by Hultam , is "wanderer" -- for the way the people lived, i.e. without permanent dwelling places. Similar descriptive terms were used in titles for fishermen (Livonians). Whether or not this tribe can be identified with the Samic people is disputed. On Carta marina it's entiting Inuits. However, "Fenni" is today used in Norwegian for the Sami. Fennia is a modern latinized term for Finland (cf. Vandalia.)
