Eesti.
Etymology
Of unclear origin. Perhaps related to the name of the Aesti described by the Roman historian Tacitus (around 98 CE), or perhaps related to the Eistland mentioned in Old Norse sagas (in Icelandic, Estonia is still called Eistland). Compare German Estland.

Aesti.
The Aesti (also Aestii or Aests) were an ancient (most probably Baltic) people first described by the Roman historian Tacitus in his treatise Germania (circa 98 CE). According to Tacitus, Aestui, the land of the Aesti, was located somewhere east of the Suiones (Swedes) and west of the Sitones (possibly the Kvens), on the Suebian (Baltic) Sea. This and other evidence suggests that Aestui was in a region around the later East Prussia (now Kaliningrad Oblast).

In the modern Estonian language, Eesti is the endonym for "Estonia". Estonia was known as Estia or Hestia in some early Latin sources, and Eistland in ancient Scandinavian sagas. Estonians themselves used Maarahvas, meaning people of the land, to refer to themselves until the early modern era. The etymologies of Aesti and Eesti remain subjects of scholarly conjecture.
Aisčiai.
The placement of the Tacitean Aestii is based primarily on their
association with amber, a popular luxury item during the life of
Tacitus, with known sources at the southeastern coast of the Baltic Sea. The Baltic amber trade (:)), which appears to have extended to the Mediterranean Sea, has been traced by archaeologists back to the Nordic Bronze Age; its major center was located in the region of Sambia.
