Maimu (Maim)
Immature fish, whitebait, smelt, fry once developed from larva, or even baby anything. Part of a fish group. Also a woman’s name that appears to have been created in 1886 by 20-year-old Georg Eduard Luiga, later editor-in-chief of Päevaleht (see Mändmetsa J.), in his story Muruneid (fairy of the greensward), a probable reference to the Kalevipoja’s Murueit, queen / mother of the fairies / greensward. As will Daenerys, the name had its fifteen minutes then faded away. See also Merihärja.
Mardipere (Mardipere)
Martin’s home(stead), former farm name. Farm group. See also Põllumäe.
Mirta (?)
Former farm name, after manor-house dependency of the same name. Untraced.
Müta (Mütt)
Long pole with hoof-shaped end used to scare (presumably equiphobic) fish into a net, or perhaps club for killing fish. Also wooden stirring stick, perhaps a domestic forefather to the preceding device. Part of a fishing-tackle group, see also Nata.
