==Name== Vihula was attested in historical sources as Viola in 1241, Vyol in 1402, Fioell in 1516, and Wihhola in 1796, among other spellings. The Finnish linguist Lauri Kettunen derived the name from the adjective viha 'bitter', connecting it with the common Finnish place name Viho(i)la and the personal name Viho(i)nen. The historian Enn Tarvel derived the name from the ancient personal name Viho or Vihoi.
