#Maarjamäe (Maarjamägi) #Asum
Mary’s mount (see #Mäe for discussion). And no jokes please. Name of summer estate once known as Strietberg or #Streitberg (battle of the bulge) after, legend has it, a vigorous disagreement between the #Blackheads...

After the nearby summer estate called #Luisental, after #LouiseVonSteinheil, owner in 1791. By this time, #France was on its 16th #RoiLouis, and the name had had plenty of time to become fashionable.

name, probably a diminutive of Est. #Mihkel, calqued on #German #Michael, so possibly after an Est. farm manager. Name replaces that of eastern half of former #Kiviaia. Glitch: KNAB puts it in #Laiaküla.
