Is Alfred Aho really a Finnish scientist? Or is he a scientist who received an honorary doctorate from the Helsinki University?

There are rumours that he has Finnish origins, but I'm removing the claim of Finnish nationality until someone gets a reference. --TuukkaH 16:31:42, 2005-09-11 (UTC)

With a name Alfred Vaino Aho, it's pretty obvious his ancestry must be Finnish, but anglicanizing Väinö as Vaino suggests he's a latter-generation immigrant. Citation needed, of course. 82.181.37.203 (talk) 15:04, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
