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.
