Have now proofed and entered just over 2/3 of the entire 1880-odd articles in #A_Rambling_Dictionary_of_Tallinn_Street_Names

Now starting to look for residents' photos of their street (nothing personally-identifiable).

Do you know anyone living in or near #Tihase?

#Tiiu (Tiiu)
#Tallinn #Kesklinn #Veerenni
A woman’s name, popular in the 1920s & 30s. Street co-created with #Pille in 2009, possibly influenced by #Õilme. Perhaps a diminutive of #tihane (see #Tihase), or perhaps from #Dorothea (Greek Δωροθέα) meaning ‘God’s Gift’. Odd, my name is Simon 😇
