Petseri nime päritolust
Abstrak
On the origin of the Estonian name Petseri There are several explanations for the origin of the name of the town of Petseri (Russian: Печоры) and its monastery (commonly referred to as Печерский монастырь). The author of this article is convinced that the name Petseri derives from the Old East Slavic word печера, meaning ‘cave’. The formation of the toponym is inspired by the sandstone cave, which is closely tied to the history of the Petseri monastery. There is no reason to associate the name with that of the village of Paatskohka, as that is based on a personal name. According to current information, Petseri first appears in the Estonian written word on a map of the Baltic Sea provinces compiled by Ernst Wilhelm Woldemar Schultz in 1859.
