Põltsamaa
Estonian
editEtymology
editAccording to one theory, from Old Estonian *Põltoisa(n), compare Finnish peltoisa. Alternatively from põld (“field”) + ots (“end”) (Põlluotsa -> *Põltsa-), suffixed with maa (“land”). Alternatively, from *põldus, an unattested derivation from põld, which seems unlikely.
Proper noun
editPõltsamaa
- Põltsamaa (a town in Jõgeva County, Estonia)
