Finnmǫrk is a placename found in Landnámabók, according to Place-Names in Landnámabók (Incomplete) by Talan Gwynek (see #1 and #2).
ór, a preposition, is discussed in Place-Names in Landnámabók (Incomplete) by Talan Gwynek (in Wayback Machine archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20150415064933/http://my.stratos.net/~bmscott/Landnamabok_Place-Names.html):
"The prepositions frá and ór (or ór) are also moderately common in locative bynames, but to indicate place of origin rather than place of residence: both can generally be translated 'from' in this context. Indeed, frá is cognate with English from. The difference between them is that while frá simply denotes origin, ór often has the more specific sense 'out of' and therefore tends to be used with the same place-names with which í is used to indicate residence."
<ór> takes the dative case. Per Cleasby-Vigfusson (see #3) s.v. mörk (see #4) (http://lexicon.ff.cuni.cz/html/oi_cleasbyvigfusson/b0444.html), the dative of <mǫrk> is <mǫrk>, so the place name does not need to be modified.

in rauða is the feminin form of the descriptive byname <inn rauði> which means "the red" and is found in Viking Bynames found in the Landnámabók by Aryanhwy merch Catmael (http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/norse/vikbynames.html):
<inn rauði>, meaning red, 10 occurrences."While most of the bynames are used by both men and women, there are a few that take different forms depending on the gender. A good way to tell the difference is that the feminine forms will use the definite article in rather than inn, and will end in a instead of i, generally."

Piritta is a Finnish female given name found in Vanhat nimityyppimme (Finnish Names) by Kerttu Katariinantytär Roisko (http://heraldry.sca.org/names/FinnishNamesArticle.htm):
S.n. Pirit(t)a: <Biritta Hongelax> 1550, SVT II p. 35. <Biirijta Poual Nowsians sona kona> 1564, SVT I p. 158. "This is the name <Birgitta> better suited for Finnish mouths."
The spelling of <Piritta> vs. <Biritta> is explained elsewhere in the article:"During the Swedish reign many of the scribes were actually Swedish speaking and utilized Swedish spelling for Finnish names. Therefore the spelling may not accurately reflect the actual pronounciation of the name.""Finnish does not have the voiced consonants [b], [d] and [g] (this fact can be clearly heard when some Finns speak English). Therefore the Finnish way is to substitute those alien sounds (and therefore letters) with the unvoiced [p], [t] and [k], respectively. This explains some spelling variants."
Pekantytär is a Finnish patronymic byname, using the typical way of forming a patronym: father's given name in genitive form + <-tytär> ("-daughter").
<Pekka> is a Finnish male given name found in Vanhat nimityyppimme (Finnish Names) by Kerttu Katariinantytär Roisko (http://heraldry.sca.org/names/FinnishNamesArticle.htm):S.n. Pekka: <Pekka Perkko> 1548.
