Ancient kings of Finland are kings of Finland mentioned in early historical sources. The word kuningas (Finnish for "king") is an old Finnic word deriving from the ancient Germanic word kuningaz.[1] In the time the sources were written, "Finland" mainly referred to the Finland Proper area, and depending on the source, the "kings of Finland" could also refer to kings of the Sami people.
