Name
Thare hae been mony debates on the oreegin o the name Tampere. Ane theory is that it comes frae the Swadish wird damber, meanin "milldam". Anither speculation is that the name oreeginates frae the auncient Scandinavian wirds þambr ("thick kytit") an þambion ("swollen kyte"), referrin tae the rapids, an accordin tae researchers, thir kynds o references wis gien tae name gien instances bi auncient Scandinavian hunters. Ither suggestions hae been the Swadish tamper-dagar, fasting days, an an' a' the Finnish wird tammi. meanin "aik". Awtho the name Tampere or its Swadish coonterpairt's Tammer- pairt canna be completely confirmed, it is clear that the fors pairt in the Swadish name means "rapids".
