Esku (Esku)

Old farm and man’s name. Said to come from the expression jumalakiiver, ‘God’s helmet’, perhaps from Russian кивер (kiver: shako, itself from the Hungarian for ‘peak’, csákó), but cannot date much earlier than the 1870s, and where the ‘jumala’ fits in is unclear. Also suggested to be an MLG loan but the ice is too thin for me.
