• Esthonia (dated)

Borrowed from Medieval Latin Estonia. Other early Latin forms were Estia and Hestia, possibly derived from the tribal name Aestiī described by the Roman historian Tacitus in his Germania (ca. 98 AD). Displaced Middle English Ēstland, from Old English Ēstland. Compare also Old Norse Æistland, Icelandic Eistland, German Estland (“Estonia”).

   • 2010, George W. Bush, Decision Points‎^[1], New York: Crown Publishers, →ISBN, →OCLC, →OL, page 233:

     “In the late 1930s, the Western democracies hesitated in the face of danger,” Prime Minister Siim Kallas of Estonia, a former Soviet republic, told me. “As a consequence, we fell under dictatorships and many people lost their lives. Action is sometimes necessary.”

   • 2016 June 23, Sarah Butrymowicz, “Estonia Is Becoming the New Finland”, in The Atlantic‎^[2], archived from the original on 29 June 2016:

     While there is less income inequality in Estonia than in the United States—and, with 1.3 million people, the country is significantly smaller—the Baltic nation also has its share of cultural diversity.
