Ukmergė
Ukmergė () ((ロシア語:Вилькомир), (ポーランド語:Wiłkomierz); (イディッシュ語:ווילקאמיר)), is a city in Vilnius County, Lithuania, located northwest of Vilnius, with a population of about 22,000 (2015).
==Etymology and variant names==
The city took its original name ''Vilkmergė'' from the Vilkmergėlė River, which was initially called Vilkmergė and assumed a diminutive form after the growth of the settlement. It is commonly thought that the name may be translated as "she-wolf", from the combination of ''Vilkas'' (wolf) and ''Merga'' (maiden). More likely the second root of the dual-stemmed name is the verb ''merg-/merk-'' meaning "to submerge" or "to dip". According to local legend, Vilkmergė was a girl raised by wolves, who bridged the divide between animals and humans, in the same way as Rudyard Kipling's Mowgli. The folk etymology of "Ukmergė", by contrast, is "farm girl" (Lith. ''ūkis'' = farm). The original name has been adopted by the local soccer team, "Vilkmergė Ukmergė" as well as popular HBH Vilkmergė beer.
Other historic names for the city include Wilkemerge or Wilkamergen in 1225, Vilkenberge (1333), Wilkinberg (1384), (1455), Vilkomir (1455), Wilkomir (1611), Wilkomirz (1613), Wilkomiria (1766), Ukmerge (1900), Aukmergė (1908); Ūkmergė (1911), Wilkomierz (1918), and Vilkmergė (1919).〔(Jono Deksnio rankraščio "Apgyventų vietų pavadinimų kitimas 13-20 amžiuje" 1985 m.
