Šnelli tiik (Šchnell)
(Johann Schnell, 1821-1890)
Pond named after a man often claimed to be Tallinn town gardener but, there being no records of him in the municipal books, it seems he was ‘just’ a market-gardener or horticultural businessman operating on Vaksali. Name seems to have been transliterated (in)differently as Šnelli, Snelli or Schnelli. See Sügise and Suve.
Šnelli Staadion (Šnell)
(Johann Schnell, 1821-1890)

Sitska (?)
Former farm or farming family. Street probably renamed after its scion Jaan Sitska, historian, in 1996 from Mähe, and once enticingly known as Kaarel, maatükk 22, 16-a, or, more or less, Charles, piece o’ land 22, 16a, reaffirming the Estonian sense of an address not necessarily being a thoroughfare but a plot of land. Anagram of Kitsas.
Sitsi (Sits): 
Derived, they say, from Hindi: printed cotton or calico, perhaps सूती (sūtī), which seems to be cotton the finished product (cloth or thread) as opposed to कॉटन (kŏṭana), cotton the raw material. Renamed (1953-1990), along with Kari, as Majakovski V. during the Soviet occupation, many years prior to which, in 1820 at least, these two streets represented the approximate city boundary. One of a textile raw materials street group. See also Kanepi.
