Ostrobothnia (historical province) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Ostrobothnia (historical province)
Ostrobothnia, (スウェーデン語:Österbotten) (literally "Eastern Bottom", "botten" deriving from Old Norse ''botn'' in the meaning of 'bay', and Latinized "bothnia"), (フィンランド語:Pohjanmaa) (literally "Bottom (low) lands") is a historical province comprising a large western and northern part of modern Finland (which was then the "eastern half" of Sweden). It is bounded by Karelia, Savonia, Tavastia and Satakunda in the south, the Bothnian Sea, Bothnian Bay and Swedish Västerbotten in the west, Laponia in the north and Russia in the east. == Etymology == The word ''pohja'' means either "north" or "bottom", and ''maa'' is "land". In ancient Scandinavian understanding, the north was the bottom of the world, where the Sun disappeared each night. The word was associated with the cardinal direction because the houses were constructed such that the back of the house faced north, the coldest direction.
