The term 'Napakivi' is composed of two Finnish words: 'napa', meaning 'nose' or 'end', and 'kivi', meaning 'stone'. This etymology suggests that the name refers to a stone's unique shape or positioning.
Physical description is not provided in the source material, but it implies that Napakivi is a distinctive stone structure, often standing alone in open fields.
