Merilinna

Merilinna is a geographical term that can refer to several locations, primarily in Estonia. The most prominent Merilinna is an island in the Baltic Sea, situated off the coast of Hiiumaa, one of Estonia's largest islands. This island is known for its relatively flat topography and is sparsely populated. Historically, islands like Merilinna played a role in local maritime activities and resource gathering.

Another instance of the name Merilinna appears in connection with the city of Pärnu, Estonia. Here, Merilinna is the name of a district or a specific coastal area within Pärnu. This part of Pärnu is often associated with its seaside location, beaches, and recreational facilities, drawing both local residents and tourists. The name itself, often translated as "sea town" or "sea fortress," suggests a historical connection to the coast and potentially defensive structures or settlements. The exact historical significance and origin of the name can vary depending on the specific location being referenced.
