Etymology
editFirst mentioned in a Russian chronicle from 1054 as being conquered by prince Iziaslav, as осекъ Кедипивъ (osekŭ Kedipivŭ, “abatis of Кедипивъ”), with the second part being translated in the chronicle as Слънца Рука (Slŭnca Ruka, literally “hand of the sun”), as if from Old Estonian *käδen päivä ("day/sun of the hand"), which seems to be a mistranslation. More likely, the original form was Old Estonian *käδen pää ("head of the hand").
