editEtymology
editOriginally referring to the rapids (Imatrankoski); ultimate origin unknown (possibly from a lost substrate). According to Viljo Nissilä, the name may derive from earlier *Imantero or *Imanteri, perhaps from a lost given name ultimately derived from imeä.[1] Alternatively, according to Pauli Rahkonen, possibly (although not certainly) from a Uralic (Meryan-East Chudian) substrate language, where the initial component may derive from *emä (“mother”) and the latter -dra derives from *jädrä, from *jäwrä (“lake”); thus the name would initially have referred to the lake Saimaa.[2]
