Karin (Female)-Finnish form of Katherine meaning "Pure".
Sari (Female)-Finnish form of Sarah meaning "Princess".
Jorma (Male)-Finnish form of Jeremiah, I am not exactly sure of the precise meaning of this name but it is definitely a derivative of it.
Reetta (Female)-Finnish short form of Margaret.
Riitta (Female)-Finnish form of Rita.
Hannu(Male)-Finnish form of John.
Olavi (Male)-Finnish form of Olaf.
Tanja (Female)-Finnish form of Tanya.
