Jakobi (Jakob)
Aka Jaagupi. Suggested as named (in 1882) after local house-owner/landlord and ex-serviceman Mart Jakob.
Keldrimäe (Keldrimägi) 
Cellar hill, named after a large concrete ‘cellar’ (underground storage facility?) in the neighborhood (see Mäe for discussion). Known formerly as Israelgasse (1893) plus variants Iisraeli (1921), Израильская (1907), but mainly Israeli (1885-1954), all named, it seems, after local landlady Maria Margaretha Israel, then Turu tänav (1954-1991) during the Soviet occupation. The first Jews in Estonia are believed to have come with the Teutonic knights. Jewish streets/quarters have been a typical feature of European towns since at least the 10th C, with names like ‘Old Jewry’, Rue de la Juiverie (France), Judengasse (Germany), etc. The word ghetto seems to come from the Venetian dialect, gheta (related to Ital. goccia and Fre. goutte, for drip/drop, but see Harju for further details), after the 14-15th‑C foundry area where Jews were required to live. In ‘recent’ years, two main waves of Jewish immigration have occurred: one beginning sometime after 1856 when Alexander II abolished the army ‘Cantonist’ system of ‘conscripting’ Jewish boys for 25-year military service (the conscription was not limited to Jews, by the way), with the added intention of converting them to Russian Orthodoxy (an interesting variation of the early Ottoman practice of taking Christian slave boys – it being illegal to enslave Muslims – and molding them first into Muslims then Janissaries, the elite fighting force of the Sublime Porte), and gradually extended the pale of settlement to Jews according to how ‘useful’ they were. Jewish communities began to thrive across Estonia, culminating in 1933 in an Institute of Jewish Studies (supported by Albert Einstein) at Tartu University. Then came war, Soviet occupation, Nazis, deportations, pogroms and extermination (see Maakri). Given the ruthless efficiency of the latter, Estonia’s remarkably brilliant and ‘somewhat’ (did I hear ‘rampant’?) anti-Aryan and -Indo-European polyglot (±60 languages) Uku Masing (another Arbujad member, see Arbu) and his wife Eha were the only Estonians to be honored among Israel’s Righteous among the Nations for saving at least one man’s life. The second wave came after WWII with an influx of Jews from across the USSR.
Alevi (Alev)
Short for Alevipoeg, Alev’s son. According to Kreutzwaldi: cousin and fighting companion of the epic hero Kalevipoeg, Kalev’s son, or, possibly, rhyming variant of Kalev’s name (see Kalevipoja and Olevi), but the street creation dates (here 1912 or 1923) don’t seem to match its peers’. Another meaning, implied by TT’s comment that the street was built at an early stage of Tallinn’s ‘districtification’, is ‘small market-town’, ‘borough’, ‘second-degree urban settlement’ or ‘village’, and may (see TAAK) refer to its current Sub-district of Kitseküla).
Asula (Asula)
Dwelling, settlement, urban community, any populated place. Lit. place of settlement, related to the verb asuma, to settle (or, in Olonets Karelian, azuo, to prepare or have offspring) and hence asum. Estonian geopolitical statisticians have the ranking thereof down to a fine art... Below a population density of 20 (in villages) or 2000 (in towns), the asula is designated as kääbus (dwarf or, in boxing parlance, bantam). They then grow through the following stages – jugu (stunted), taru (hive/buzzing), väike (small), siire (transitional), suur (large), kasa (large-heap), hiid (giant) and rait (colossal [over 5M for towns]) – before becoming mega-cities, a state yet to be reached by certain communities in, for example, Jõgevamaa.
