Limbaži
Limbaži (, (エストニア語:Lemsalu), (ドイツ語:Lemsal), ) is a town in the Vidzeme region of northern Latvia. Limbaži is located 90 km northeast of the capital Riga. The population is 8705 people. During the Middle Ages, as part of Livonia, Limbazi was a fortified town with stone walls, second in importance only to Riga. ==Etymology== The name ''Lämmist nīn'' is believed to be Livonian word meaning "wide isle in a forest swamp". The German ''Lemsahl'' is derived from the Livonian name. According to folk etymology, the name ''Limbaži'' originated sometime in the 17th century. A recently arrived Swedish minister overheard some gibberish, "limba" and "aži". Mistakenly, he assumed this was the name of the village, and so the town was called "Limbaži".
