Pahapilli is a village in Saaremaa Parish, Saare County in western Estonia.[1]
Name
[edit]Pahapilli was attested in historical sources as Pilli Pent in 1592 (?) and Paha Pilli Tönnis in 1627 (both referring to individuals), Pahhapil in 1798 (referring to a cluster of farms), Pahapilli in 1826, and Пахапилли in 1900. There is also a farm named Pahapilli in the village. The village name probably originated from the farm name, which is a compound of the adjective paha 'bad, evil' and the personal name Pill 'Philip', genitive Pilli, thus meaning 'bad Philip' and referring to some individual.[2]
History
[edit]Before the administrative reform in 2017, the village was in Mustjala Parish.[3]
