Kalev (mythology)
Kaleva – also known as Kalevi or Kalev – and his sons are important heroic figures in Estonian, Finnish and Karelian mythology. In the Finnish epic the ''Kalevala'', he is an ancient Finnish ruler. In Estonian mythology and Friedrich Reinhold Kreutzwald's epic poem ''Kalevipoeg'', King Kalev was the father of King Kalevipoeg and the husband of Linda. History Some historians have suggested that the oldest known written reference to Kaleva (Kalev / Kalevi) can be found in the 6th- or 7th-century Anglo-Saxon poem "Widsith", which was copied into the Exeter Book, a manuscript of Old English poems compiled in the late 10th century. "Widsith" states that Caesar ruled the Greeks, Caelic the Finns ... I was with the Greeks and Finns and also with Caesar ... Some historians have interpreted the term "Caelic" to refer to the ancient Finnish ruler Kaleva mentioned in the Kalevala. The first clear written references appear in a list of deities published by Mikael Agricola in 1551 and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Kalev (given Name)
Kalev is an Estonian masculine given name, derived from national folk hero Kalev. Related Finnish names are Kaleva and Kalevi. Its meaning is most often "giant", "tall strong man". The etymology is uncertain. The Russian word голова (''golova''), "head" as in "headman" has been suggested, but is linguistically anachronistic. However, it could be Baltic (kalējs, "smith"), Finnic (kalea, "cool, hard") or Norse (Hlér, a sea god, from *xlewaz, or *xalewaz with an epenthetic vowel). It appears in historical records from 15th century onwards, although an uncertain mention dates to the 12th century. People named Kalev include: * Kalev Aigro (born 1959), Nordic combined skier *Kalev Arro (1915–1974), partisan * Kalev Ermits (born 1992), biathlete and cross-country skier * Kalev Kallemets (born 1979), politician * Kalev Kallo (born 1948), politician * Kalev Kesküla (1959–2010), writer *Kalev Mark Kostabi, known as Mark Kostabi (born 1960), American painter * Kalev Kotkas (b ...
