Imanta (Imanta)

Apparently an erroneous transcription of Ymaut (Latvian), or Himmot or Himotu (Livonian), the soldier who killed the newly-appointed bishop of Ikšķile (Ükskül meaning ‘a/one village’ [or, possibly, ‘village No.1’] in Livonian, [cf. German, Üxküll or Uexküll] in present-day Latvia), Cistercian Bishop Berthold of Hanover, on his bolting horse during the Livonian Crusade in 1198. Name of Estonian choral society founded in Riga, 1880.
