Answer

Nokia nimen kantasana on nois = The origin name of Nokia is nois.

This sentence means that the word (name) 'Nokia' originated from another word, which was nois. In current Finnish the word 'nois' has no meaning. According to Wikipedia, the name 'nois' in turn may have been the name of the fur(ry) animal we currently know as sable (latin: Martes Zibellina, Finnish: soopeli).
