Björköby is a village and a former municipality now part of Korsholm, Finland.
The local name for the settlement is simply Björkö, "birch island", but it was changed to Björköby (by meaning "village") in 1932, when it became its own municipality.
This was done to distinguish it from other Björkös, since Björkö is a fairly common place name.
[2][3] Together with Replot, Kvevlax and Solf, Björköby was consolidated with Korsholm in 1973.
