Malmi, Helsinki

Malmi (Finnish: [ˈmɑlmi]; Swedish: Malm[1]) is a regional center and a major district on the north-eastern part of Helsinki, Finland.

Its main transport links include the main railway dividing the city center into Ylä-Malmi and Ala-Malmi, as well as the ring road called Ring I (Finnish: Kehä I) in the southern part of the district.

The name is the same as the word malm in the Swedish dialects of Uusimaa, meaning flat and sandy forest land.

The word has been common in the parish of Helsinki, judging by the names of the 18th century, such as Keimola's Tappermalm, Voutila–Viinikkala's Mottmalm, Tikkurila–Hakkila's Haxmalm and Länsisalmi's Brändmalm and Sandmalm.

The original form of the name Ormusmäki (Swedish: Ormusbacka) is Orrmossebacken (Finnish: Teerisuonmäki).
