UkmergÄ—
UkmergÄ— (; previously ''VilkmergÄ—''; pl, WiÅ‚komierz) is a city in Vilnius County, Lithuania, located northwest of Vilnius, with a population of about 20,000. Etymology and variant names The city took its original name ''VilkmergÄ—'' from the VilkmergÄ—lÄ— River, which was initially called VilkmergÄ— and assumed a diminutive form after the growth of the settlement. It is commonly thought that the name may be translated as "she-wolf", from the combination of ''Vilkas'' (wolf) and ''Merga'' (maiden). More likely the second root of the dual-stemmed name is the verb ''merg-/merk-'' meaning "to submerge" or "to dip". According to local legend, VilkmergÄ— was a girl raised by wolves, who bridged the divide between animals and humans, in the same way as Rudyard Kipling's Mowgli. The folk etymology of "UkmergÄ—", by contrast, is "farm girl" (Lith. ''Å«kis'' = farm). The original name has been adopted by the local soccer team, "VilkmergÄ— UkmergÄ—" as well as popular HBH VilkmergÄ ...
