Satakunta

From Finnish Satakunta.

Satakunta

1. A region of Finland.

First attested in 1331. Possibly from sata (“hundred”) +‎ kunta (“municipality, commune”), probably as an indirect calque of Old Swedish hundari; compare English hundred, referring to both the number and a kind of an administrative division. It has sometimes been proposed that the latter component kunta may derive from the same root (Proto-Germanic *hundą) as well, either only in Satakunta or as a whole (the latter is unlikely, however).

Another theory, proposed by Nuutinen (1989), is that the first element sata- is a Germanic loanword meaning "landing place, shore", from which also satama is derived.^[1]
