Ilmatar
In the Kalevala, the Finnish national epic, Ilmatar was a virgin spirit of the air.〔Lönnrot, Elias, compiler. ''The Kalevala: Epic of the Finnish People''. Translated by Eino Friberg. Otava Publishing Company, Ltd., 4th ed., p. 365. (1998) ISBN 951-1-10137-4〕 ==Origins== The name Ilmatar is derived from the Finnish word ''ilma'', meaning "air," and the suffix -''tar'', denoting a female spirit. Thus, her name literally means "female air spirit." In the Kalevala she was also occasionally called Luonnotar, which means "female spirit of nature" (Finnish ''luonto'', "nature").〔Lönnrot, Elias, compiler. ''The Kalevala, or Poems of the Kaleva District: A Prose Translation with Foreword and Appendices''. Translated with foreword and appendices by Francis Peabody Magoun, Jr. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1963.〕 She was impregnated by the sea and wind and thus became the mother of Väinämöinen.
