Proper noun

Jorma

1. a male given name
   • 1897, Juhani Aho, Panu, WSOY, published 1947, pages 126–127:

     Jorma hoiti näitä toimiaan niinkuin taisi, mutta kun hän oli enemmän soittaja ja laulaja kuin tietäjä, joutui Panulan tietäjän vanha maine yhä heikompaan huutoon sitä mukaa kuin Reidan maine kasvoi.

     Jorma did has errands as he knew how to, but as he was more of a musician and a singer than a wise man, Panula's wise man's old reputation got weaker and weaker as Reita's improved.
