ylta

Ylta is a Finnish given name, toponym, and term with multiple references. As a given name, Ylta is thought to be derived from the Finnish word "yltää", meaning "to rise" or "to be high". The name has limited occurrences in Finland and is considered rare.

In topographical contexts, Ylta is an alternative name for an island located off the coast of the Kilpensalo Peninsula in Finnish Lakeland. The island belongs to the municipality of Padasjoki.

Ylta can also be derived from the name of Lake Ylta, a relatively small body of water situated in the region of Päijänne-Tavastia, Finland. The lake is characterized by its small size and lack of significant surrounding settlements.

The name Ylta may also refer to a concept in the Mycoplasmataceae family of bacteria. In this context, Ylta is not a fixed term, but rather the name of a specific isolate or variant.

The multiple references and uses of the term Ylta contribute to its ambiguity in other contexts, potentially leading to confusion. Despite its various meanings, the name Ylta remains uncommon and largely specific to limited geographical regions.
