Soini (mythology)

Soini is a giant and a son of Kaleva in Finnish mythology. Parts of a story which are attributed to him in North Ostrobothnia are instead given to Kullervo in some other regions, such as Ingria. Christfried Ganander wrote Soini was a trickster or scoundrel his whole life. He is often called Kalkki (Swedish skalk: scoundrel; Proto-West Germanic skalk: serf, servant, slave).
