Gonsiori (Jakob Johann Gonsior, 1794-1865)
Formerly (1920) split into Greater- and Lesser-Gonsiori. 19th‑C Tallinn alderman and lawyer, mayor of Tallinn in 1828, orphanage founder and funder. Renamed (1950-1991) as Lomonossovi M. during the Soviet occupation. He lived at Mündi 2 (another one-time candidate for being called Gonsiori), It has been suggested that the name comes from Polish gąsior, for gander (the letter ‘ą’ is nasalized and pronounced ‘an’). For information, Poland controlled Southern Estonia from 1559 to 1629.
