message: i know its not a "who's got the biggest pier contest", but the article repreatedly refers to the Molo as being the longest pier in Europe - a quick glance at the southend Pier page would suggest this isnt the case  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.155.188.44 (talk) 13:35, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Does the origin of the name 'Zoppot' really meant 'stream'? The German Wikipedia states, it meant: 'beneath the hill'. 84.191.243.14 (talk) 08:43, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The "stream" explanation seems more likely from a linguistic point of view (I can't think how anything like Sopot comes to mean "beneath the hill" in a Slavic language, and German WP says the word is of Slavic origin). When I get to the library I'll look it up in a toponymic dictionary.--Kotniski (talk) 05:52, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

text: Just another thought: maybe the name is not of Slavic origin, but Baltic? I really don't know.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.191.240.102 (talk) 13:02, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Well, a bit late, but I checked in a Polish etymological dictionary and it says the word comes from a Slavic word meaning spring or stream. I also realize that in Croatian "under" is ispod, which might mean that "sopot" sounds like or was a word for "under" in some past Slavic tongue, which is what the theory from German WP may have been inspired by, but I can't find any source for that theory.--Kotniski (talk) 16:32, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
