Looks like it showed up very occasionally starting from 1880 (when they started keeping track?) but the start of more of a trend was around 1910. That tracks well with the influx of Central Europeans then; it’s the Anglicized version of Miloš.

Michigan had a little private school called Suomi College, which changed its name to Finlandia University in a rebranding. They had some great merch:

I once worked with a guy who went to college in Wichita, KS. He said their rival school was Friends University of Central Kansas.
It’s a Christian school, and he said it took them a long while to figure it out. They’ve since revised the name.

lol, I remember that eurodance song from a long time ago.
I think the people behind the renaming were Sibelius fanboys, but there were a lot of vodka jokes going around.

Thank-you? You, but I’ll take the stairs.

Weird. I’m reading a Miles Vorkosigan novel, Memory.

I assume he means lick the pure element, so no compounds. Dogs are said to lick the air, so I guess you could lick a gas.

Bubble it through water and stick your tongue in to lick the bubbles.
