väljaordinate

Väljaordinate is an Estonian surname. Its etymology is derived from the Estonian word "välja", meaning "out" or "outside," and "koht", meaning "place" or "spot." Thus, the surname can be interpreted as "from the outside place" or "from an outlying area."

The surname is not particularly common, but it is found among individuals of Estonian heritage. Like many surnames, it likely originated as a way to identify individuals based on their place of origin or residence. The geographical location signified by "välja" might have been a forest edge, a borderland, or simply a place situated away from a central settlement.
