Its historic name ''Arensburg'' (from Middle High German ''a(a)r:'' eagle, raptor) renders the Latin denotation ''arx aquilae'' for the city's castle. The fortress and the eagle, tetramorph symbol of Saint John the Evangelist, are also the depicted on Kuressaare's coat of arms.
The town, which grew around the fortress, was simultaneously known as Arensburg and Kuressaarelinn; the latter name being a combination of ''Kuressaare''—an ancient name of the Saaremaa Island—and ''linn'', which means ''town''.〔Pospelov, p. 28〕 Eventually, the town's name shortened to Kuressaare〔 and became official in 1918 after Estonia had declared its independence from Bolshevist Russia. Under the Soviet rule, the town was renamed Kingissepa in 1952; after the Bolshevik Kuressaare-native Viktor Kingissepp〔 executed in 1922. The name Kuressaare was restored in 1990.〔 It is called in (フィンランド語:Kuressaari) and in (ドイツ語:Arensburg).
