→ English: Tallinn

→ Norwegian Bokmål: Tallinn, Tallin

→ Polish: Tallinn

/ˈtɑlʲːːinː/

The origin of the capital name is disputed:
* Most likely from Old Estonian Tanin lidna (whence Tanillidna > Talilinna > Tallinna > Tallinn), equivalent to Taani (“Danish”) + linn (“city; fortress, castle”), from Proto-Finnic *litna (“town, city; fortification, fortress”).
* An alternative theory derives it from tali (“winter”), equivalent to talv (“winter”), from Proto-Finnic *talvi (“winter”), from Proto-Finno-Ugric *tälwä (“winter”) or from talu (“farm, farmstead”), from Proto-Finnic *talo (“farm, farmstead”), from Baltic, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *talˀa- + linn (“city; fortress, castle”), from Proto-Finnic *litna (“town, city; fortification, fortress”).
The form Tallinn is official since 1933. Before, the official form was Tallinna, now very rare in the nominative. This makes Tallinn the only Estonian placename not to end in a vowel.

From the name of the Pärnu river, but the ultimate origin seems unclear. Seems to be related to pärn (“linden”), which might be folk etymology, but other theories have been proposed. Possibly of Germanic (*berô, an n-stem) or Pre-Finnic origin. See also Veps pern (“river bank”). Seems to be cognate to the Finnish toponyms Pernaja, Perniö, and Pernoo.
