Glehni N.v. (Nikolai von Glehn, Count, 1841-1923)
Founder of the then town, now Tallinn suburb, of Nõmme. Died in Brazil. One of the last scions of a family descended from the German merchant Heinrich von Glehn, who arrived in Estonia in the mid 17th C. Has a fairly motley history of name change, with (ignoring the minor Ger & Rus. versions) Glehni (1927-39), followed by Niine (1939-59), interluding as Marana (Potentilla spp.) in 1940-41, then Niineõie (bast tree blossom, 1959-60), and Välgu (1960-89) during the Soviet Era. The Glehni streetname was reinstated (and time-shared?) in 1939, upped to Nikolai v. Glehni tn in 1989 and restored to all its aristocratic pre-1939 fullness of Nikolai von Glehni tänav in 2010.
