Lätty is the dish, ie a "a flat" basically (comes from Swedish "plätt") , a pancake. Pannu is the pan. But like there's special pans for those, which look exactly like the one OP posted and I didn't realize it was another similar looking Nordic dish.
Lättypannu would be the pan you cook the lättys in. Ie a crepe pan. Pancakepan.
I always preferred lättys made on a big pan though, way thinner and you can just put some jam in there and roll it up.
Oh man come to think of it that's how I learned how to roll I guess lol.
The small ones are sort of thicker. Like 0.75cm thick, whereas the big ones are crepes, thin.
Finland didn't used to really do salty fillings for crepes and in my teens I sort of found savoury filled crepes really weird.
