Paattinen

Paattinen (Finnish: [ˈpɑːtːinen]; Swedish: Patis) is a village in south-west Finland and a district of the city of Turku.

It borders the neighbouring municipalities of Vahto, Nousiainen, Mynämäki, Pöytyä, Aura and Lieto.

The name of Paattinen is derived from a local dialectal word paatti meaning "boat", most likely via a river name *Paattijoki, now called Paattistenjoki or Vähäjoki.

Paattinen acquired its first church in the 1580s, but it got chapel rights later in 1689 under the name Paattiskorpi.
