Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with proper names which occur in the collection Old Estonian Fairy Tales written by Friedrich Reinhold Kreutzwald, the author of the Estonian epic Kalevipoeg, and published for the first time in 1866 in Helsinki. The work includes 43 fairy tales and 18 local folk-tales. The main goal of the paper is systematic treatment of proper names. For this purpose, all possible toponyms and personal names have been localised and classified, had their use in the old written records identified, and as far as possible, had their etymology specified.
